Monday evening we partied with host Hassan, Mohammed and Aziz. Yesterday they took us to the bus stop at the roadside - and we left Skoura and the Palmeriae with much regret.
A bit more than 4 hours with the CTM bus to get around the Mt Gouna and then eastwards to
Er-rechidia, where we, exceptionally, have booked one night fot late arrival.
The landscapes were beautiful, the road was winding non-stop and, tired as we were upon arrival, we just had a quick bite for supper - probably a Tagine avec poulet aux citrons et olives, at “Zarda”.
Upon arrival in El-Rachidia, we need to find out about departure times for tomorrow and we must also buy the tickets still today. The timetable is in Arab and Berger with small text in French.
What a tremendeous relief when, half an hour later, we get settled in our home for one night -
with a cup of tea.
Since weeks we don’t even mention wine nor cool beer.
Sunrise ((!) on Lake Meski close to which are the hot springs called “La source bleue’’.
Hassan had recommended we take taxi out there for supper yesterday, but the bus arrived much too late and we were too tired.
Within half an hour we reach the foot of the High Atlas. It gets cooler by the minutes.
The temperatur, in fact, drops 1˚C for every 200 m we drive up into the mountains.
The outside temperature is 10*C and we have no warm clothes in our cabin luggage.
But worthwhile it all is .... to have a view like this, also if only for one day.
Everything at hand - even the pool.
The glazed tiles are green and two eagles seem to have chosen the tower for nesting.
Tomorrow is another day .... a bit further north and a bit cooler at 1980 m above sea level.
