Trip Report: Taroudant to Merzouga

Here is the first installment of my Taroudant to Merzouga trip report on my new blog. http://daoudinmorocco.blogspot.com/2012/11/taroudant-to-merzouga-trip-part-1.html.
More to follow, hopefully tomorrow.

I just got back home yesterday evening, tired but happy. I enjoyed the varied countryside, the towns and villages we passed through and people I met, but I'm also glad to be back in Taroudant amid familiar faces.

Nice report and great photo of you and your daughter! I always thought CTM buses are pretty reliable, but guess I better reconsider, based on your experience.

Here is the second half of my Taroudant to Merzouga trip report. I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it.

I have gained from this trip the knowledge that it is all well and good to make detailed plans, and we should all do that. But we should also be ready to change or trash those plans depending on many factors such as weather, who we are traveling with, who we happen to meet, our money supply, our health etc, learning as we go along.

Interesting report and I liked this words - "The Erg Chebbi Dunes are awesome".

I have just added to part 2 of my trip report a picture of my friend Mubarak on a well-dressed camel taken in Erfoud. I was sitting waiting for the bus to Ouarzazate; Mubarak got bored and decided to take a walk. He came back with a colourful snapshot in hand which I can now share with all of you.

I bet the camel was dressed better than the both of you! Great photo.
