A sandstorm kept us up most of the night and we awoke to this
Door to the desert
Waking up the camels
There will be video from our trek to come. Lots of it.
Once we finally made it back to M'Hamid, it became much more difficult than we thought it would be to make our way back to civilization. We wanted to get to Marrakesh, which was about 10 hours away, but no buses were to come.
The extremely unhelpful hotel manager finally helped us get a ghetto taxi, which we had to pay too much for to drive two hours to Zagora, the next town with buses. The roads were one lane and cars would play chicken until one would move out of the way for the other. We finally were able to take a 7pm bus from Zagora that got into Marrakesh at 2am. We did see a delightful old man on the cutest donkey ever who tried to sell us bicycle sized tire baskets and swords, which was entertaining. "Oh you!" The next day in Marrakesh we did a bit of meandering, drank mint tea and bargained. A night train with a sleeping car took us back to Tangers, where we couchsurfed with a Moroccan engineer our last night. I got sick the last night and day (of course).
Back to Marrakesh
Best cafe in town
Ciao, Morocco!
