Chilling afternoon
6. maaliskuuta 2023, Marokko ⋅ ☁️ 18 °C
Back at hotel to try and cool down (23° in shade) and out for Chinese tonight

Good rest on the balcony this afternoon then found a really brilliant Asian restaurant that did Thai, Korean & japanese food.
Started with sushi rolls, followed by crab rolls finishing with a pad Thai that was exquisite. Asked for a beer but as I was sat outside I couldn't have one, although was welcome to have one inside, but as it is still roasting decided to stay put and ended up with a lovely ginger and lemon 'raw' drink (very healthy) 😉Lue lisää

Trip to the five valleys
7. maaliskuuta 2023, Marokko ⋅ ☁️ 10 °C
Well a trip to the five valleys, which includes some hiking 🤨
The route includes ourika to have short hike to see a waterfall and then a drive on to oukaimeden and then views of Sidi Fares , then on to Asni and back through Tahnoaut.
Absolutely no idea what I've let myself in for 🤣🤣🤣

A really good trip, the hike was bearable but worthwhile, nice to see monkeys running free and wild amongst the rocks and houses.

Spectacular colours on the mountains as we travelled to a Berber house for lunch. Really contrasting views with snow on mountain tops.

The food was delicious, I had a chicken tagline while relaxing in a really peaceful valley, I could have stopped longer.

Only sad thing was to look at the poor wattle and daub houses in all the villages and yet really smart mosques that have been built by the villagers rather than improving their homes.Lue lisää

Another day
8. maaliskuuta 2023, Marokko ⋅ ⛅ 13 °C
Well had a lie in today, the weather is really overcast, it's the first day I haven't been able to see the atlas mountains.

Well chilled in hotel and sun came out , went to Medina and bought a small tagine for my firepit, wandered around and ended up on rooftop terrace of amor n akoch for evening meal, and yes it's camel tagine fo me 🐪😋

Only 62 days to go until my next trip, yet another to tick off my bucket list, although don't think the weather will hit anywhere near the 31° that we've had here this week 😎Lue lisää

Time to go home
9. maaliskuuta 2023, Marokko ⋅ ⛅ 12 °C
Well, it's time to go home, really enjoyed this break, good food, just enough sight seeing, great weather great food and it's been really good to have some company on the trip.

Still back to Rosie now, ive missed her waking me up at silly o clock but Georgia has sent me a pic showing that she's not missing me at all - typical cat 🐱

Still, only 62 days to go to my next trip which really is a bucket list special for me, although I can't see the weather getting anywhere near the heat here but my countdown begins 😎Lue lisää
