      Another 12k hike to Amejgag

      March 28, 2023 in Morocco ⋅ ☁️ 20 °C

      Last night's accommodation was on sleeping mats and in our sleeping bags. The mats were really comfortable and sleeping bag was plenty warm enough.
      One of our ladies woke up with gastro, so another lady who is a nurse and is a walking pharmacy dosed her up. She then was able to walk with us today.

      We set off on a morning walk through Agouti M'gouni Gorge, crossing through Almdoun Village to get to Amejgag. The red walls of the gorge remind me of the Aussie outback gorges.
      At some points we need to cross a river, multiple times so we change to sandals or "water shoes".
      Last week the water in the river was still up to the women's knees but today it was nearly dry. It was nice to walk in the stream anyway.
      Many oleanders line the river.
      We saw a herd of black goats on the gorge walls.

      Lunch is again supplied by our mule team under some Silver Birch trees.

      After arriving in Amejgag Village we relax and shower until we go downstairs to a weaving workshop run by the lady owner of this gite who sells her rugs to a ladies' cooperative.
      They also give us an afternoon tea of Morrocan coffee and Moroccon tea with a friend donut thing, no sugar.
      The coffee has star anise, rosemary and ginger in it.

      Then another free time and tea at 8.30.
