... nuances of the U.S. military's fleet of 27+ satellites (a.k.a. Global Positioning System) that gratuitously allows folks all over the World to happily seek Tupperware in the woods (i.e. geocaching) - or in this case, the dry wasteland of the nearby sand dunes. Indeed, as I repeatedly shouted "Faites-moi confiance - SURPRISE!", he clearly thought I was nuts. Nonetheless (for 150 Dh) he prudently kept mum and dutifully ...

... exception to the other driver talking to John and suddenly the two drivers start throwing punches at each other – serious fighting and then a few of the other drivers standing around see this as an opportunity to join in, so before we know it we’re in the middle of a taxi driver fight!! It eventually gets split up and we jump in a taxi and go to the main square. The riad we are staying in this time is within the souks themselves, its around 11pm by the time we ...

... shelf &#8211; no problem he says as we try and get in the back and end up leaning forward with luggage poking in our backs and necks!!! It was kinda funny.<br><br>We get dropped at the station and board the bus for Essouria. There&#8217;s not much to say about the journey really, one straight road took us there from Marrakech and we actually couldn&#8217;t see anything much through the windows &#8211; it was quite a bumpy journey though, that much I can say ...

... in Agadir, finding ourselves on the way to Tiznit. A town that experiences a constant stream of "Hoomas" (mostly French retirees in campervans). Stayed within the Medina, strolled about town for the day until our ride to Tafraoute was.....well round the corner waiting! Why stop at the Station when you can park down the road.
