Frankie's Travels Day 5 - Ifrane

This town is called Moroccan Switzerland. I can understand why. It is green and the air is clean and it is up in the mountains. (and it's pretty lettuce-crisp cold) The houses even have the traditional sloped roofs with the gable windows in the roof. Apparently it snows here so this is a popular ski destination too. Many people have summer and winter holiday homes here. Are you getting the Switzerland metaphor yet?

There is a big stone lion in the centre of the town so we stopped off for photos and to stretch our legs. the line for the loo was too long so we're leaving now. Driving out of the town we can see the start of the Cedar forests as we cross the Middle Atlas mountains...
