The Highway of 1000 Kasbahs was our route today and true to name there were an amazing number of big fortified houses, or palaces, to be seen in both green valleys and stony, dry desert.
Dade's Panorama was incredible, the vast size of the view, the colours, the amazing effect that the seasonal river has on the wadi ( a river valley that is watered by heavy seasonal rain) ... and then there were the scarf sellers. Very persistent, but they did add more colour to the view.
Kelly spotted snow on the distant ranges and later we could all see it..
Next stop was Dade's Gorge and it was bitterly cold. A short walk gave us another spectacular view. There are several places that were restaurants but after a huge rock fell the government decreed that they had to close those restaurants.
Erfoud is in the Tafilalet region of the Sahara and is noted for its high quality dates. Driss bought a big box of the best fresh dates, the medjool, and we all enjoyed them very much.
And just outside our room, sand dunes, camels, dune buggies and possibly Lawrence of Arabia!
After a great meal, it is time for a good night's sleep. No new passengers in the back of the bus but some are still feeling pretty ordinary.
