Ammeln Valley

Morocco has corners that would probably never have been discovered if an artist hadn't had the somewhat strange idea of adding a little color here. The result is the well-known blue rocks, which are now also cared for by the locals. The place itself has enough charm, but that doesn't matter, it's funny.

We stayed on site for 4 nights, our visit was booked at the hotel, Christian and he were able to go hiking, where I saw the inside of the Palumbi thanks to an illness. We were at a campsite, although there is a great free space there, but it was pretty full when we passed it...

According to the pictures, the hikes were brilliant, you just have to acknowledge that without envy. But there are other things to admire from Tafraout, including the Moroccan Grand Canyon, which we did together, and a beautiful side valley that is a pure oasis.

It was another scenic milestone that couldn't really be captured in pictures. I tried, but it didn't really work. All I can say is go there if you are in Morocco because it is very worth it!

I could have stayed here longer, but there was a schedule AND of course the aftermath of the accident.

We have to get a cost estimate, which then has to be approved by the Moroccan expert from the opposing insurance company, who then comes to the caravan. BUT it's hard to find someone to write to us! That's just a number that you don't actually need or want.

I would like to be less touristy, I would like to have more solitude, because the accident and its consequences put more strain on us than I had previously assumed, and my nerves are often frayed. The traffic here around Agadir doesn't make it any better, some people here drive with a death wish, I think.

We now have more and more things that are no longer running smoothly at Palumbi, that was already the case before the accident, but now you almost get a stomach ache when another screw appears and we don't know where the part came from. Then there are the sometimes very adventurous roads and passes, which are a bit of a challenge for Palumbi thanks to gravity. I can't say whether he's always worked like that, but otherwise we've done things like that ONCE, currently it's all the time.

I can't say whether a newer caravan would make this easier, I just know that I want to drive Palumbi until August, so please just hold on. But every stop brings new surprises, from a broken door lock to a drawer with a life of its own... It feels like it's getting worse and worse, but that could also be the momentary misjudgment.
