Morocco--two c's/Marrakech-two r's
Now that I have that sorted. Here I am in Africa once again after 20+ years since travelling to Egypt. I had 6 days to plan a visit to Morocco, which is a two hour journey by plane. What better way to spend the time than to hike in the Arlas mountains. Toubkal is the highest peak in North Africa at 12000'. I decided not to tackle the ascent in April when the weather here can turn very quickly. I found a highly regarding trekking outfit by the name of Aztat Treks. I will spend three days going from Berber villages with my own guide, cook and mule. I arrived in Imlil last night and was greeted by a mule and was led up a path about 15 minutes walk to a lovely, rustic guesthouse where I was fed a sumptuous meal of soup, tajine, flatbread and dates The house is full of travelers from England just chillin' and a couple from Canada who plan to summit Toubkal after acclimating for a few days on shorter hikes.
