Docos and omlettes?

Days 7 & 8: The Atlas Mountains provide a head-spinning pit stop for the Wheelers.


Thursday-Friday 8-9 February

Thursday was a rest day in Marrakesh, we spent part of the day with a German TV crew making a documentary about the hippy trail era of the 1960s and '70s.

On Friday we drove through the Atlas Mountains on a spectacularly winding road through Taroudant and down to Agadir on the coast. At a roadside cafe at 2100 metres we met other Plymouth-Banjul teams who had stopped for excellent saffron-flavoured omelettes, a Berber speciality.
