Saturday was the first active day of our tour. We started out bright and early from Marrakech heading south towards Toubkal National Park. Toubkal is the tallest mountain in Morrocco. Three members of our group just finished a four day trek to the top of the mountain just before this tour. It sounded like a lot of effort (can’t describe it as fun sounding!).
Our first day though of activity was pretty easy. We stopped at Azni where they had their weekly market to pickup the fixings for lunch. We quickly found that you have to buy everything by the kilo it was easier for us each to pick up something (grapes, bananas, apples, bread etc) and share it communally.
After driving for a couple of hours we reached the point where we needed to leave the main road and head up into the mountains. We were met by local Berber 4x4s (aka mules) which carried us for about 2 hours up into the hills to our hotel.
We then spent the afternoon enjoying the lovely view from the hotel terrace and taking a stroll through the local village.
