3 hours away from Marrakech, in a lovely Berber village in The Atlas Mountains. I became very attached to this place. had a wonderful time wandering through the mountains, through the fields of wild flowers, past the waterfalls and the donkies taking a picnic of fresh fish. The villagers were all extremely friendly and welcoming. I drank lots of mint tea! My principle bonding experience with the locals was when i decided to visit the local haram (public baths) for a clean up. Quite an experience! Huge ladies poking and rubbing me whilst I starred in shock at the amount of dirt coming off me!! It's a real social gathering there, the hubb of all gossip and apparently the prime place for wife hunting for their sons!
