Kasbah Capers!

We are treating ourselves to some real downtime, here at the Kasbah, at the end of the world. Yesterday afternoon we used the hotel pool and splashed about to cool off, then sat in the shade of the tea room for refreshments.
 Note no alcohol! We sup that in the privacy of Delfin! Then in the evening we tarted ourselves up and went for diner ...Moroccan salad, chicken on a skewer and fries. So much better than cooking in what had become an oven of a motorhome.
The service was excellent, the atmosphere relaxed. We were spoilt. The lighting around the pool added to the magic of our location Dining al fresco was a delight.

Hand embroidered cushion covers and tablecloths and a couple of souvenirs all with traditional patterns

The night was very humid in the van and we slipped and slithered in our own perspiration waiting for the occasional  breeze to filter through the fly screens. Eventually, around three pm there was a very recognisable drop in the temperature. Bliss, then sleep.
Today we have done pretty much the same, lounging and endeavouring to keep cool. This morning was cloudy and looked like rain, but it actually fell in the Atlas we were told. Sue was up early trying for a desert sunrise but to no avail so hopefully she will get a sunset tonight.
Just like the Pony Express of old, the post must get through.
Tomorrow we head north to Erfoud , then turn left on to the R703, which on the map is a yellow road, so there could be more excitement ahead." As long as it's not one of those  b....y high passes" says Sue.
