The high road, the low road or NO road!

Mon 22nd Dec

We did leave this morning. Driving on through Sidi Infi, the town which lost all bar one of its campsites in the rain, as well as buildings, roads and bridges. There is a great deal of work to be done here. The road we expected would take us onward, is seriously no more! It has completely disappeared. We won't be joining the Foreign Legion after all! Instead we take the only other road that is open; we'll see where we end up?

The landscape begins to change as we leave the coast. Before our time at Abdul's, we had driven through Argan tree plantations, now we were driving through cactus plantations. Soon it was sand, sand and more sand. With a few palm trees in the mix I was starting to warm to this Moroccan scenery. Now all I need is a camel!

Our campsite tonight is very different but very friendly, different area, different people maybe? It is a small, long established site surrounded by sand dunes and palm trees. We are welcomed with mint tea, which we watch being brewed, it is quite a long, drawn out procedure but worth it. Even I am enjoying the sweet mintyness, usually it's PG tips all the way for me!
