Camping Zebra

 

 Life is all about learning, especially from our mistakes. Well today we too have been on a learning curve of our own. Behold, an oven. These have been a part of the Moroccan village landscape throughout our journey.
 They are made from wattle coated in mud and are perched in the garden, usually with another one for company.
Today,  we discovered how wrong we were. It is in fact, an African toilet. Guess that's as far from an oven as you can get!!After that small confession, back to our travels. Ninety miles east of Marrakech, we came to a rather luxurious site called Camping Zebra, run by a Dutch couple, who having travelled around the African continent for several years, decided to settle here in Morocco and establish this site named after their favourite animal. Needless to say, there are plenty of black and white stripes in evidence, from the table mats at dinner to the plastic loo brush holders in the loo.

Sue sat amongst the fluffiness of cushions in the shady, lounge.

The dining area , under a Berber canopy, where tonight we will  eat tasty Moroccan food. We have been told not to be late.Each meal is prepared for the time that you request, so roll on 6-30pm

 

This is where we ate. Just look at that impressive light fitment. The food was delicious, full of Moroccan spices, apricots,raisins ,mint yoghurt beef and chicken. Yummy!

This beautiful jacoranda tree ( well we think that's what it is ) is growing right next to where we are parked.

This was our sunset last night. We wondered whether you had such a clear one. The call to prayer is echoing around the valley, so time to settle down for the night.
