Walking in the High Atlas - pictures

Apologies for our absence, there is no wifi in the High Atlas.

We are back safely in Marrakesh, but I will start from the beginning.

We are about to board a train to Fez (8 hrs) so during the trip I'll put some words to these pictures and tell you about our mamouth climb of  Mt Toubkal.

Out and About in Prague

Image
Weve done the walking tour, the hop on hop off and the river cruise. We've visited the castle and ridden the trams. This is an interesting city.

Also 5,000 identified as Jedi.

This time we are doing a bike ride then two walks. Prague to Vienna by bikes, then Transylvania on foot through the Carpathian Mountains of Roumania and finally on foot through the High Atlas mountains of Morocco. To get to this point Clare seems to have seen every one of her patients in the last two weeks. I have had to rearrange our finances, glue myself to the mower (I now do the neighbours 11  acres plus our 16) and accelerate our fence building (with the neighbours help). There are a couple of gates strung with wire but we now have a fenced home paddock. So, while we are away, wallabies can no longer eat our plants. Are we fully prepared? The short answer is no!!!!! We have good gear and experience in taking the right quantity. Our trips are supported this time (luxury!) so we will take double eg about 15 kilograms ...
