Stormy Weather

The Juggler and his Ladylove arrived and we have been on a trip to the Almeln Valley. I think it was a little disappointing for them as we went on Friday and it started to rain and was generally quite bad weather and on Saturday some of the roads were flooded were streams crossed them although stream beds close by could be dry. Due to a camera failure I have no pictures. However when we got back we found that we had only caught the edge of the weather and slightly further east and in the High Atlas things have been much more dramatic.
The main road from Marrakech to Ouazazate looks like this




There are over 60 people dead over the country and there are some dramatic escapes posted on YouTube.

Suddenly  a rather damp holiday doesn't seem much to complain about.
We are off to Essaouira tomorrow for one night, hoping to catch the gap before the 44cm of rain forecast for Taroudant on Friday.

The bridge opened at Taliouine 4 mths ago on Saturday
