It's Sunday night and we are parked on a campsite just outside Boumaine Dades at 1600m, it's a bit chilly and very windy. We're not used to this after a week or so of glorious sunshine! We left Ouarzazate this morning and stopped at Skoura for our coffee and le petit dejeuner. We've had a few interesting breakfasts on our morning stops, pancakes with apricot confiture we rate highly, day old bread with laughing cow cheese not so good. Today we had fresh warm bread with olive oil, goats cheese and strawberry jam, delicious. The first two items came straight away but when we asked if there was any confiture available the owner nodded and immediately sent a young lad of about eight years to the shop over the road for a jar of jam, result!
After locating the campsite and reserving our pitch we set off back to town for a bit of shopping and some lunch hoping we could find something to eat other than another tagine. Now, we like tagines and we've had some very nice ones here but after a while you just want something different like a steak and kidney pie. Obviously Kate and Sidney is out of the question so we settled on kefta, salad and chips; it's not a pie but then again it wasn't another tagine. If, at this point, you're thinking that we spend our days looking for interesting breakfasts and avoiding tagines, well, you're half right. We only actually spend half the day in those pursuits.
The view west from our campsite this evening:
Tomorrow we are setting off for the gorge at Todra while Paul and Chris, our travelling companions, spend a day here exploring the Gorges du Dades. We're trying to meet up with a couple we met in Spain last year, our paths keep crossing but I think we're getting closer and we hope to see them again in the next few days when we can catch up and swop stories.
