White slops...

These good old white slops walked miles on the Moroccan journey..... this is the final stage of their life
as they fell apart... Great Desert  

Morocco - 5 - Goats in trees..

 Sorry folk I have been out of things for while..... had to get a new computer set up and then went away .... hopefully back on track now...  enjoy

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

On our way to Marrakesh we pass a tree on
the side of the road and low and behold it was full of goats.... We are told they climb the tree all by themselves but is sure looks like they have been placed there...they can apparently stay in the tree all day.  

Friendly 

Morocco 4 - The Desert Ride and over night stay.

Once we reached the Desert after many hours in the car we were delighted and in awe of the scenic views. Too hard to really capture - for me that is. I had also dropped my special camera into water and it was drying out so we only had the tablet and a small happy snap camera to cope with.... Here are but a few.. It is a trip in a life time and we enjoyed every minute of this venture. You really should think about it before it becomes too commercial.

A Berber camp in the middle of no where.... 

Viewing the land ahead. 

Our two camels waiting for us... 

Taking a picture for us with the tab... 

My turn to get on one of these fellows.. 

Some of you know what this feels like... 

A quiet walk - silence all around except for the wind

Here we go..

A Berber taking a walk through the desert.. love the orange turban

Camel prints in the sand

Trying to take a photo while riding the camel - it is a wonder we go anything at all. 

Sunset nearly upon us. 

Sunset from the top of the dune. 

Think he was saying his prayers or he was just grateful that we make it back after climbing a high dune
to see the sunset. 

Our room for the night. 

Early morning - our camp..

Carpets everywhere laid on the sand. 

Sunrise 5.30am over the dunes.... too beautiful. 

Morocco 3 - Camels, Camels everywhere.

Where ever you go in Morocco there are Camels and of course ones snaps away and before you know it you have so many pictures all much of a 'muchness' Some of these creatures are friendly and some not so much. I was told that they were "smelly" and grumpy but we did not find this at all.

So cute but the Mom was very protective 

Heading out 

...

Waiting for clients 

He looked at us kinda saying "you want a ride?" 

Going home

Miles of nothing ahead

Outside this boutique was a camel being held down by rope.... he really was not going
anywhere.

Taken from the car window.... on the way to the desert. 

Morocco - 2 - on the streets.

While walking through the streets we came upon many types of
art work and craft designs.. some we loved and others we were not so keen on. It takes all types. Their pottery was bright and colourfull and loved their plates although they were very heavy.

Beautifully painted 

Leather work every where.... one could smell it from a door or two away. 

Baby moccasins 

Berber silver - jewellery big and small 

Made from spoons and forks.
