... did know them there after all. Anyway, the food in there was good – another tagine for me!!

We go back to the riad and say our goodbyes to Alex as she has to be up at 6 in the morning to catch her flight and our flight is not until tomorrow night. We’ve had great fun together, it really has been excellent. Alex has similar interests to us and likes to travel and experience things in the same way as us, so it has worked out perfectly. Bon voyage Alex.

... friend, which we all have a good laugh about.

It’s actually a lot cooler by the coast – it’s quite windy here, so we go shopping to get something a bit warmer to wear tonight. By the time we’ve done that, we go back to the riad, get changed and go out again.

Ten days before Christmas, I was sitting outside on the roof terrace, enjoying a good lunch with a view of the ocean. It was blue skies all over and just pleasant. Was it really 3 days since I was walking through the snow...

... during a period of rain the rivers flowing alongside and beneath road bridges were filled and flowing quickly. I also had the opportunity to witness a twister beginning to form while we were at the rest stop. While it was not an impressive as watching a Tornado in the USA it was still quite spectacular; even though this one did not make it to the ground.After we left the stop it was not long before the colour of the buildings started to change colour.

... of purple and orange hues follows. It already looks interesting from 15 kilometres off. We have no hotel booked or sense of direction, and a quick ring around declares that all the ones in our guide are "Complet".
