14th and
15th March
It's very warm!
Yesterday, we lazed around the farm all day. We even went for a swim
in the rather green but beautifully cool pool. No chlorine here! The
heat of the day does seem to induce a rather slow attitude towards
activity but hey, who's in a rush here. We could move on now Mum has
gone home but then, we could just enjoy the farm for a while longer!
It is such a lovely place.
We manage, after a
siesta, to get on our hiking boots and take to the hill behind us.
Not a huge walk but a good stroll and a chance for Krysia to practice
a bit of modelling!
Here she can be seen
wearing boots from Blacks at £45, a stunning top, £12 and shorts
£12 from T K Max. She's a bargain of a girl!
On the way back to the
van, we found a garden of forbidden fruit
which needless to say,
Krysia ate
and if she gets caught
will be expelled from the garden of Koudya!
Today, instead of being
lazy at the farm, we drove into Taroudant on the motorbike and were
lazy there instead! Well, it's so hot we just have to sit in the
shade of a cafe and have a mint tea before doing anything else.
Refreshed, we run for more shade in the guise of Abder the Shoeman's
shop as I really need a man bag and he has just the one for me. (
photo coming soon! )
He mends a hand bag of
Krysia's as well as supplying us with a belt each, he's 'our man in
Taroudant'.
We wander, in the shade
of course, through the alleys of shops and streets in downtown
Taroudant.
Krysia buys a small sculpture of a donkey! As you do
We go to the Berber market to get a few supplies from familiar faces
who seem more interested in teaching us Arabic and Berber than
selling their wares! All great fun.
After a freshly
squeezed orange juice under, yes more shade, we zoom through the
streets, out onto the road that follows the walls of this city and on
to the Palais Salam, an old palace which is now a hotel, serving tea
and encouraging visitors to walk in their gardens. So we do just
that.
Krysia feeds her new donkey for the first time
Passing through the gates into the hotel gardens
Which although are lovely, are still not as beautiful as La Koudya
It is an old palace so the doors here are a bit more splendid
All in all, a lovely lazy day out in Taroudant.
I wonder if it's going to be as hot tomorrow?
Until then lots of love
Ted and Krysia xxx
