Tinghir Take One - The Cranky Post

We arrived last night to discover our room overlooked the parked buses at nearly eye-level to drivers loading and unloading baggage. The other side was a nice view of an abandoned Kasbah (gigantic private very old home). I’m not sure if it is our luck or a two women thing, but we don’t get the best rooms.

This morning we took a 5-hour hike which should have been four. One of our tour mates was very, very, very slow on the way up. It was frustrating to watch him stroll up, take another photo while the rest of us waited. This is the husband of the women who couldn’t keep her behind on the camel. Another person who was fine on the way up had her knees just really struggle on the way down. Our guide finally had three of us go ahead to meet up with our bus driver on the way down to join our non-hiking group for lunch. They had been waiting an hour for us already. The remaining three showed up another hour later. The group protested waiting another hour for the three latecomers to eat, so Mohamed agreed to get us back on the bus to the hotel.

I’m now stuck in the lobby waiting for Gail to return from a (hopefully) short visit to town. She has our only key and the manager is not here.

Ok, that’s my cranky Tinghir post.Okumaya devam et
