Considering the amount of rain that had fallen the previous evening and all through the night I wasn’t terribly optimistic when I woke next morning and went to check the weather as a basis for some important decision making about the day ahead but unexpectedly there had been a complete transformation and the sky was big and blue and the sun was shining again as I surveyed the view from the sun terrace at the top of the Riad.

Great post, Andrew! I love those makeshift stalls selling local produce. We have them as well in the Philippines and I will always stop and check out what I can buy. I also love your picture of the ruins. Perfect capture with those beautiful clouds that seem to hover over the ruins.

Thanks. Yes, they are surprisingly random and often unexpected. Unfortunately (perhaps?) we don’t have them in the UK because of street trading regulations, I expect it is the same in the Netherlands?

There are some enterprising farmers that sell their flowers, fruits, potatoes when in season but not in the same scale as in other countries outside Europe I guess.

I never really any bad luck as well when I travel, weather-wise. Just thought of it after reading the post.
There is an assignment to Morocco for next month for my job but I didn’t get to be a part of it.

This is a great post. I have been to Morocco but didn’t get a chance to visit Moulay Idriss sadly. My favourite spot was Les Cascades d’Ouzoud – I love waterfalls and those are spectacular. How much longer are you spending in Morocco?

Thanks for the comment. I have to confess that I write this retrospective blog from the comfort of my study at home because my visit to Morocco was in December last year. In 2010 we went to Marrakech and visted waterfalls at Setti-Fatma in the Atlas Mountains south of the City – you probably would have liked it there too! https://apetcher.wordpress.com/2010/11/25/marrakech-the-atlas-mountains-and-setti-fama/
