It certainly was an experience but driving so slow over gravel,dirt and uneven roads made for a very jerky trip would have preferred to do half stay the night then go right to the border and fly back. because if the 6am start no breakfast was available at our hotel and would have been great to have had a muffin and coffee upon arrival otherwise nothing to eat until 11.30. great to see landscape, pipeline very few animals
