Toujours à Azrou 13 mars La journée s'annonce encore une fois pluvieuse. Vraiment pluvieuse cette fois. Ça ne s'améliore pas du tout. Comme j'ai dormi tout habillé (le polar, le foulard, et le reste), je décide de passer par dessus la tiède douche "sans plaisir" et de checker out rapidement de l'hôtel Salame d'Azrou. Vous serez d'accord avec moi, les journées de pluie sont parfaites pour faire de la route. Me voilà donc prêt pour un quatre heures de bus pour me rendre à la ville carrefour d'Er Rachidia. Avant de partir, je décide de me remplir la panse d'une dernière tajine d'Azrou: elles m'ont grandement réchauffées celles-là, en ces journées froides et sans chauffage.

Idaho may have snow snakes, but Morocco has snow monkies! We left Khemisset relatively early, after juggling around some of the weight to help out the poor little Golf. I still think Hichem should give it a name, it certainly deserves one after all we put it through. Hichem's brother SiMohmmed (one of four in the family) drove his car with us, and he took one of the barrels of olive oil and some of the other packages. The TV was replaced by Aziza, who was much more fun to talk to and more comfortable to lean against. The scenery leaving Khemisset was probably the prettiest I have seen here in Morocco. The hills are green this far north, and the road wound among them showing me picturesque views that reminded me of the hills of ... read more
