Taliouine to Ouarzazate

Camping Toubkal, Taliouine

Taliouine (sounds like Tally-ween) was the centre for saffron production.  The flowers were harvested in October, the local women picked by hand very early in the morning.  It was the main source of income for these country folk.

The road from Taliouine to Ouarzazate (sounds like Wazzerzat) took us between the Anti Atlas and and the Atlas Mountains.

The route took us to over 6,000 feet but it was a good road

Our time in Morocco was coming to an end; we had to be in Tanger Med at the end of January, giving us about a week to relax before it was time to start heading north.

Tony spotted a few more cracks on the tail lift so we stopped in the industrial zone in Ouarzazate and had extra strengthening welded on
