We traveled along the "route of 1000 kasbahs" - the town of Ouarzazate. This town is the home of Atlas Studios where many films including Flight of the Phoenix, Lawrence of Arabia, Jewel of the Nile, Braveheart, Indiana Jones and Gladiator, to name a few, have been shot.
Next we visited Aït Ben Haddou which has a wonderful Kasbah which is a type of fortress or palace. This is one of the best preserved kasbahs where we lost ourselves in the narrow, winding passageways.
Whilst Tilly and I did this, Finn opted to stay at the kasbah and K had a henna tattoo applied to each hand. Tilly got one earlier and as K was the last one the lady invited her into her home for tea. Whilst neither could speak each other's language, they spent an hour together and became friends on Facebook. That's one of the great things about travel, you never know what's around the corner or who you might meet.
All food places seem to have exactly the same menu so for dinner it was something different we had pizza. It's nice to be in a quite town but tomorrow it's back to the maddening city.
