Morocco Day 10

It was a sleep-in day – til 11 AM. Breakfast was sumptuous and we really didn’t want to leave this hotel.While waiting to leave I took photos of the gorgeous roses in the gardens. We didn’t have all that far to go today so that’s why we had the late start.

Our destination was the town Tafraoute. Our route was amazing. The first hour or so was same old, same old straight road. And then we started to climb up into the Anti-Atlas Mountains. We are travelling in argan tree country and we got to see goats up in the trees - what a funny sight!

There was a goatherd nearby and I don’t imagine he was too impressed with the group of tourists pouring off the bus scaring his animals.

The road narrowed and there wasn’t a lot of traffic which was a good thing. The corners were hairpin turns and I had to look away. But oh, the scenery was magnificent.

We saw small villages, abandoned Kasbahs, windy roads and amazing views. I thought the journey would be short-lived but it went on and on and on.

Lunch was a picnic lunch again, just past a small village, but no carpets to sit on this time, haha!

Tafraoute is a relatively small place. We’ve got the best hotel in town apparently but that ain’t saying much. The water pressure is pretty bad and I’m not looking forward to tomorrow morning’s shower.

On the bright side, the supper in the restaurant was delicious, with good prices and service – bonus!
