Well, here we are... First prize: five days with Explore in Morocco; second prize 10 days!
Only joking. It has been class, just superb. Very warm and very dry, but superb.
Everybody in Morocco seems to be in the process of walking, anywhere, any speed, all walking in the same direction. If they are not walking, they are sitting by the side of the road, probably discussing which way to walk.
The land is awesome. I thought it was just brown and sandy, until turning a corner we came across three million palms trees! Three million, all green. An oasis of green, just as we entered Zagora. Still hot though.
Well, must go, tonight we are camel trekking. If I survive that we're gonna get lost in the desert tomorrow ...
