Wednesday 27 January

There's some good walking around the area leading to excellent views and a number of fit (and brave!) souls decided to give it a go - but not us! Instead we said we'd walk into town and join them at a chosen hotel for a group lunch.

So at 1.00 pm the rest of us wandered down to the town, through the weekly market and arrived at the hotel at the same time as the walkers. You would think that 20 people descending on a quiet hotel restaurant all together unannounced would create a stir, but the staff took it in their stride and we all sat down to a pleasant meal; not the best we've had in Morocco but very acceptable. Inevitably not everyone got what they wanted and a few suffered delays in receiving their meals, but the ambience was nice and the sun was shining. No alcohol though of course.

Later in the day three of the ladies went to try a hammam, the traditional Moroccan public bath, which we were told consisted of a bucket of hot water with which you washed yourself down. As many Moroccan homes lack “proper” bathrooms, this is a popular way of getting clean. Sorry, no photographing allowed!!!
