Both of us went to bed early last night so we were up and at 'em at the crack of dawn. We left the camp ground at 7 am! as the mist and cloud began to gather. Tumbling over the mountain tops, the cloud seemed to be filling up the 'Tafraoute bowl' as there are mountains all around. We, of course are driving straight into them
So as we climb out of the 'bowl' , we enter an eerie thick fog made of clouds. Between our snivelling colds, the still new head gasket and the driving conditions, we are quite quiet on the journey!!
The van goes well which always pleases me, she pulls as well as she ever has and takes the climb in her stride. On the descent too, with her new back brakes, the mountain roads are tamed! Insha'Allah of course! May she go well for many miles. We have a long journey back to Wales in front of us.
At Tiznit we go to the Souk which happens to be on today. For a change, I leave the camera behind and just go shopping like everyone else! It makes a nice change and we get our supply of vegetables and fruit as well as more honey from a chap we met two years ago. Well, it's nice to know a face and have one who knows you!
We move on down to Aglou plage and settle in to the campsite. Krysia feels quite unwell as it's only day two for her, I started this all off last Saturday, so I'm on the mend today. And where did it come from? Sahara bugs we reckon, Ali from Guelmim was coughing like a donkey. Or just African bugs we don't get back home?
At 3 pm we go over to Lahoucine's cave to say our third goodbye! We bought him a water proof coat in Tiznit last Monday and we have a pile of childrens clothes that we hope he will be able to deal with for us.
He is happy to oblige and the right people in his village will get the clothing. He explains to whom and how the clothes will be distributed. There are many 'poor' in his village, he tells us and they need help just like this! We are pleased to have found a genuine outlet for our meagre offerings.
He likes his coat too.
And we say our goodbyes again to this charming fisherman who has once more shown us such hospitality
He has taught us a few lessons too, which is nice!
Home to rest and get over these colds! We have a northern path to follow tomorrow! One week of our visas to go.
Hope you are all well
