Quarzazate - Ait Ben Haddou - Tizi-n-Tichka (Pass 2.260 m) - Quarzazate - Adgz

Brigitte:

After we had a nice breakfast on the terrace, I pay and Wolle gets the bike in front of our hotel. I'm worried When paying the receptionis worriedly asked me how we're doing and when I tell them, very well, he is somehow surprised - wasn't it too simple?

We ride to the Kasbah Taourirt in Quarzazate and make a tour, upstairs, downstairs, left around, right around, one is astonished in the end, that it ends at the entrance again. Interesting to visit the inside of such a building.

It's incredibly hot and we're heading to Ait Ben Haddou, passing some movie studios. Pretty funny. Ait Ben Haddou is pretty to look at, but also very touristy. I'm curious if I ever recognize the location in one of the films that were filmed here. And we are pretty hot. Funnily, we meet Mariko again and eat a soup together for lunch.

Then we head north, a mix of easy pistes, nice curves, magnificent landscape views. And: We meet the Dutch again. Too curious and very funny. not even the obligatory Berber can really disturbe our spontaneous talk. He wants to sell us a mineral stone, because he is Berber and has three children.

We ride on via Quarzazate to Agdz, into the Draa valley. Here we've booked a room on AirBnB and it turns out to be a nice bungalow with two guest rooms in a palm grove. A girl - only serving us - will prepare dinner for us in the evening. It is a bit like travelling in colonial times.

Wolle was a not feeling good in the morning and had circulatory problems. Now it's better again, but at night it turns out as a slight gastrointestinal upset.
