Day 36 - Desert day 2/back to Marrakech



The second half of our desert excursion began in the wee hours of the morning. We watched the sun rise whilst enjoying traditional Moroccan breakfast prepared by the hosts of the excursion/desert men (not sure what to call them). After breakfast, we jumped back on the camels and rode them back to the nearby town. I gotta say, we absolutely LOVE camels. They are very friendly when you show them love and affection, as well as patient and obedient. We took several pictures and they embraced the camera like top models (move over Tyra). Even cuter, one of the camels smiled every time we aimed the camera at him. Kim Kardashian, you got competition. After the camel ride, we hopped back on the mini bus and drove for about six hours, once again through the beautiful Atlas Mountains. Once we finally got back to Marrakech, we showered, rested and headed to the main square for our last meal. Moroccan salad, lamb and chicken skewers, lamb cous cous and fresh orange juice was on the menu tonight and my oh my did it hit the right spot. After walking through the square we visited our favourite kittens and treated them with leftover kebab from dinner and cream cheese. Our last night couldn't have been better and ended with saying bye to all the amazing people we've met at the hostel and in Marrakech. Thank you for the memories!
