Trust in Allah, but tie up your camel!

Today was a 200km loop from Ouazazate via the Draa Valley. The roads were very passable by my standards. However they may not be passable by 'normal' standards.

The roads are infrequently traveled so bring plenty of water and fuel. We ...

We never found a taxi and made the train with about 7 minutes to ...

... from where I was staying, and as soon as I stepped in the door, it just seemed like it was much more alive. There were people in the entryway, people going in and out of there rooms, and the receptionist could speak perfect English. I asked how much a room was and he said 100dH (70dH cheaper than my current room), but with shared bathrooms. That was definitely not a problem for me. I paid for one night and I had myself a new hotel. ...
