Morocco #2 - proper post.

I might have been a bit tired for the previously blog post.

Morocco is....

The scenery:

• Lots of bloody mountains everywhere.
• Lots of funky square houses and villages.
• Barren orange and brown crags.
• Scrubby shrubby valleys.
• Almost all the A Roads are single track lanes full of hairpins.

The weather:

• Sunny.
• Very sunny.
• Really stupidly bloody sunny.
• Also cold at night.
• Very crisp and dry.

The plants:

• Spikey.
• Thorny.
• Prickly.
• Spikey and thorny.
• Spikey and prickly.
• Prickly and thorny.
• Spike and prickly and thorny.

The animals:

• Donkeys.
• Lizards.
• One family of wild boar (woot! but they ran away before I could get photos / cuddles).

The people....are really fond of:

• 6am prayer calls of massively amplified wailing and ululating.
• Walking in the middle of the road (especially at night in black clothing).
• Staring intently at passing cars as if they have just landed.
• Police roadblocks (which so far have gone very smoothly once they realise we are idiot Europeans and therefore inconsequential).

The food:

• Tagine.
• Meatballs.
• Fennel infused breadsticks.
• Beer that lives up the to famed African brewery standards.

The climbing.....mmm that can wait until next time.
