This morning, when the alarm went off TEN HOURS after we set it and turned in for the night, I said in protest, "I don't want to Tjarlee". "You don't have to, Gailee", said he. So we sent a message to our host, ate leftover pizza in bed, and went back to sleep! Ah, the joys of retirement.
Four days of cycling will bring us to Essaouira (Ess). Somewhere between Ess and Agadir, our final west coast destination, lie mountains, the anti-Atlas (lesser Atlas), we think.
Here's an odd thing about accommodation in Morocco, something we also encountered throughout Africa. Your bedding will often comprise a bottom sheet and a blanket ie no top sheet between you and the blanket. This either means the blankets are washed virtually daily or, more likely, that you are sleeping where others have slept before. We carry two sarongs which double as top sheets, so don't mind much, but it raises an unanswered question for me each time regarding (im)practicalities.
