We have a gentle day today.  A trip into the town centre using a little trap and ponies.  It is very warm today with clear skies and I think we were applying a lot of sun cream for protection.

The local market is very colourful with the piles of spices dominating.

Judging by my photographs I was quite taken by the variety of archways and doors which abound around the town – these look quite substantial.

Ans as we are on travels with my wife she has deigned to appear in front of the lens outside the hotel entrance.  Plus another archway!

Our route today is up and then down as we cross over the Atlas Mountains.  At this time of year the snow has gone and we are high up.

We have a very basic lunch at a small place high in the hills, where precisely I do not know.  There are not many stopping places along the route.

The route has numerous twists and turns – not always easy to photograph as we travel along and we also suffered some heavy cloud at one point, so I appear to be missing the classic shot and this is about the best I can find.

Our destination is Taroudant – specifically Hotel Dar Zitoune Taroudant – which we specifically recall as a very welcome and restful place with an attractive pool.  We are here for a couple of nights before we move on again.
