Of course you can't go to Morocco and not see one of these. Is it just me or do these two kinda look a like?

We went for dinner at this amazing place. It was designed after how the kings and sultans would have lived in the past. The food was amazing, and the servise even better.

So the next day we were off to see the Hight Atlas Mountains. They are stunning.

We met this man on the journey. He is a traditional berber (native moroccan). He gave us some authentic moroccan tea which is tea with mint and heaps of suger. He was a very happy man and it is rather interesting because he lived very simply. I bought a jade necklace from him.

Continuing the journey the views were spectacular. This is a fort that was built by the arabic people. They invaded and drove the berber people out of the plains of Morocco into the mountains and this is found just as the mountains are beginning to get serious.

Now this was the Indian Jones like bridge that i crossed. Talk about a challenge but i made it. Just after we had walked across an elderly berbrer man and his grandson crossed. They lived up in the mountains and have to cross this bridge everyday to travel to the small village that is just up the road.

This store is in one of the villages that we stopped at. The man on the donkey passed by us as we sat down to enjoy the view. It is a rather interesting concept to realize that to travel by donkey is a reliable and realistic mode of transportation for these people.

The mountains were great. Next installment is travelling to Rabat (capital) and Sale.
