Frankie's Travels Day 5 - the other side of the mountains.

On the other side of the Middle Atlas it is not green at all. Finally we are at the desert (however not the Sahara yet...) The ground is stoney and dotted with small scrubby bushes and woolly sheep,

Yes I did take photos of the sheep and it is a good shot.

Now I want pictures of some wild camels in the veld. Funny story: when I arrived at the airport in Marrakech and was driving to the hotel I saw some camels "parked" on the side of the road like motorbikes. Haven't seen any camels since. There is however an optional camel ride in our programme. I will start flexing and exercising my thigh muscles in preparation for hanging on for dear life...

The town we passed through has a wide main road through the middle and flat fronted shops and buildings. It reminds me just a little of Western movies... More cactus required methinks... And chaps and cowboy hats instead of head scarves and djellaba's.
