#8. Walk a Palmeraie
 |
| Someone has to do it! |
Flowing from the High Atlas, the River Dades winds its way
through rugged red peaks, flat desert scapes and into the high narrow cliffs of
Todra Gorge leaving a chain of lush green oasis along its course. We were fortunate to have two days to
appreciate this amazing scenery and sharp contrast of rich and meagre
landscape. The Gorge itself is a canyon
with cliffs reaching some 300 feet high; we had the best of views from poolside
deckchairs at Hotel Taborihte.

Still feeling miserable, the Motleys elected to spend the
day poolside whilst others gallivanted through the palmeraie before taking in a
Berber pizza. The Cap’n breathed a sigh
(heavy with relief) when they
returned many hours later laden down with embroidered carpets, mostly wool and
all coloured with vegetable dye. GS was rested
but furious…..
