Er Rachidia - Place of the peanut

Er Rachidia (It does translate as the place of the peanut) is nice enough,. Hotel Renaissance is v helpful, hot showers and a reasonable cafe downstairs with excellent herb omelet. In fact everyone seems very polite and helpful, with the exception perhaps of the taxi driver. Another thunderstorm today that somehow avoided us on our return from La Source Bleu, a fresh spring come swimming pool, infested with fish and a bus full or two of Germans. Quite a pleasant place but not sunny enough all day. Got a lift back with a lorry driver and booked the 5am bus for the morning. yuck.

The good news is that I have purchased a turban (Editor's note. Not a turban, a Ceche - pronounced sesh), Royal Blue with black trim, but lacking a number 9 on the back, for 50 dirhams. Very smart and all the rage in Bilma Erg apparently. Had a good chat with a matey about Sex, drugs and rock and roll in Morocco. Basically very similar taboos to us, but literally about 100 years behind. Tracy Chapman is V popular but lager louts are definitely out.Weiterlesen
