Paradise Lost!

Mon 15th Dec

In the hopes of reaching the Sahara by Christmas, we continue south to Agadir. Just short of the city is the road to Paradise Valley, with its rock formations, waterfalls and palmeries. Unfortunately, it seems that for now at least, paradise has been washed away! We drive as far as we can until we get to the road block. We are allowed to walk on after the block and see the collapsed road, the trucks and diggers doing their best to repair it and the definitely non paradise like views. We are shocked by the evidence of just how high the water was.

A quiet campsite is home for tonight whilst we revise our route plan. An unexpected delight came in form of a chap selling cakes on the site. In Morocco there is always someone selling something; his were the most delicious naughty but nice treats, perfect macaroons and a variation on a cream slice, the usual feather icing and puff pastry but instead of cream - banana! Very fattening, very more-ish and very very delicious!
