Louise and Dave practice the "Normandie Stare" *

First day in Morocco and everything goes to plan. We get a ride from Casa airport to the home of some good friends of Fatima - Amal & Khalil(in picture), while father, Hamid, tracks down the bus to Errachidia for us. One thing to note about Fatima's friends, they all belong to the Moroccan cell phone mafia

After an all night, 9 hour, bus ride, we arrice in Errachidia. Fatima's brother, Abdellah (left), takes me on a tour of the region and a friend tags along. *

The valley around the Meski spring is verdant compared to the surrounding countryside, and dates grow in abundance

A couple of hours drive from Erachidia, past Erfoud and Rissani and we are lost in the Merzouga desert
