Yesterday started with fast, hard packed gravel pistes towards the mountains. We then did a slow and quite long mountain track with lot's of turns, so progress was slow.
Around 11h we end on a large altitude plateau with nothing around except a few small houses with shops in it. Apparently this is the last reacheable place for trucks, so people come from the villages in the mountains to this place to buy, sell and trade goods.
The subsequent climb to 2200 m was a fast one despite the rocky pistes. The descent to 1200m in less then 9 km is quite a challenge, as the road is very rocky, very steep, and with lot's of hairpin turns.
After a quich lunch (tajine of course) we did 50 KM of tarmac, and then the last stretch of pistes before taking the main road to Marrakech.
In the afternoon we could see clouds gathering over the Marrakech valley, and indeed here in Marrakech the weather is not that good.
End of the blog for now. We are now going to enjoy the 3 days rest in Marrakech before going back to work...
