Ouarzazate was a pleasant surprise. We were expecting another small, sleepy town, and though it is small and sleepy, it was pretty-fied to look like a bustling metropolis. <\/p>\n

\nView from our balcony<\/em><\/p>\n

There were no touts waiting to “welcome” us when we got off the bus, and we were ignored for the most part while we walked the length of Rue de March\u00e9. <\/p>\n

We stopped here en route to Marrakech, to visit A\u00eft Benhaddou, a fortified ksar<\/em> about 20 kilometers from here. Our driver gave us quite a treat when he veered off the road and drove us through the plains, streams and small oasis villages.<\/p>\n

Tomorrow we’re pushing on to the last leg of our Morroco trip. Bring it on, Marrakech!<\/p>\n
