Each
desert is different, each has its own charm and are not worth
comparing. But certainly the experience of the caravan of camels
that wound through the dunes, the mini-sandstorm that obscured
the sun, the encounter with the other caravan that was going to
load goods, the inhabitants of the oasis so serene and open to
us, obviously untouched by tourism have been an unforgettable
and valuable experience. As always I can not express in words
the feelings that will remain forever in my heart.

..... I walked in the desert, surrounded by its "silence", without anyone around. A moment of bewilderment and then .... a very strong emotion overwhelmed me at that moment, I felt very much a part of that immensity, sand in the sand .... I felt a lot of serenity and strength within me, I was alone, I was greeted by a great mother consoling and helping me to accept the physical fatigue of the journey. Daily I search for these intense feelings that will help me to deal with the "small" adversity of my own journey. Many thanks to everyone but especially .... to the Taklimakan! |

The purpose of life is the desire to live. This is what I thought when walking in the desert, it was a long time since I felt this feeling. A slow pace, back in time, a story that slowed its path allowing me to turn my attention to MYSELF. During the day to lead the way towards the goal, like an ancient rite, and at night, with the sky that was once solid, now dotted with stars like crystals. I felt moments of great happiness, almost undone by such immensity. A wonderful experience that I would like to repeat. Thanks to all the fellow travelers on this special trip. |

This
time I impraced the "fleeting moment": a journey walking
with a caravan with camels in the great Taklimakan Desert in China.
Yes .. many people in the world travel on foot, but crossing a
desert becomes an opportunity for a few. Dunes after dune after
dune ... the sound of footsteps in the sand marked by the slow
pace of the head camel driver leading the caravan. I feel privileged
and fortunate to have taken part in this group trip of Desert
Therapy in China, commissioned by Carla after her experience of
crossing the Taklimakan in solitary. See you next trip! |

I listened to the silence of the dunes I touched countless sands I gazed at the sun and the play of shadows but more than anything else I admired the tenacity and willpower of a Man on his camel, step by step, crossing and loving the desert. Thanks Oscar for letting me experience the reality of infinite dreams and ancient tales of men and caravans, that before us have passed through these sand dunes. |

It's time for the Taklimakan. I was afraid of not being among the lucky ones, given my young age and bilateral knee prosthesis. I had the Takli in my heart and I would not have given up for any reason. Two years ago in Bolivia, in the Salar de Uyuni, another incredible spectacle of nature, I said to Daniel, "promise me that you will take me back in Takli, as you did 14 years ago, when Carla went through it in solitary." And embracing me Daniele said, "Doc, you will do it, even if I have to carry you on my shoulders." The group was legendary, I have no words to thank you all for your friendship and help, I will always remember you. Thanks to Carla, with whom I shared a life of adventure and to a great friend Daniel, without him I would not have succeeded in this endeavor. You guys are all great! |

Waiting for over a year and finally we depart on this adventure that has not let down my expectations. Carla is right: every desert has its own charm. I, in my fifth desert with Desert Therapy discovered even more the feeling of infinity in the dunes around us 360 degrees, with a beauty beyond anything you can imagine. Fatigue yes, almost to the limit of my ability, but equally pleasing to have overcome moments of great difficulty such as the sandstorm. It 's really hard to convey the emotional impact of such a unique place if you have not experienced it firsthand. Thanks to all the staff and fellow travelers who have made possible this special adventure. |

The Taklimakan has been generous with us, caressing and hitting us with its sandstorm and then letting us enjoy the sights, colors, and emotions all of which were breathtaking. But to those who will ask me what was in the desert I have to answer "nothing." The emotions you can not describe, how do you explain why you cried? thanks Carla |
