Hi all!
As you might know the blog was a good bit behind on real events (about 2.5 months by the time of my previous post). About a month ago, just as I was about to enter Guinea Bissau, my journey was cut short when my grandfather became gravely ill (he has since passed away). I have since gotten a few requests from friends and family to finish the blog, and I think it'd be nice for myself too. It'll be a while until the whole trip has been covered, but anyway, here's the beginning of the end!
The gorges and oases of Afella Ighir form a 40+ km loop, and it's probably the most beautiful and peaceful part of Morocco I've seen. Met some very nice people, both fellow tourists and locals, and saw some incredible landscapes. Food was delicious too. If you ever go to Morocco and want a less touristy alternative to the Dades gorge, this is the place to be.
