Over the mountains
... of the last five days, it has really been quite amazing the diversity of landscape we have come across. The High Atlas mountains were just as impressive as everything else. We headed toward the Tichka pass that would wind our way through the the mountain range to find ourselves in another impressive landscape. In the valley between the peaks, around every corner was a village. People were walking on the highway going from village ...

Towards white water
... days ahead. The procedure with the toilet (read - hole in the ground) and the helmet off the paddle (read – toilet occupied) is explained. Lets hope the French couple understand. We are allocated a a spot in the berber tent but Bryony isn’t too keen on sharing sleeping quarters with strangers so we choose to sleep outside under the stars. The boys give us a tarp to keep the dew off us and seem ...
