The Skoura trek
It might not look scary in this photo but the river's current was running quite fast as Lucas, Thomas, John and Allanah had to cross the log one by one...
A walk and mule ride through the Skoura palmeries
There were some steep climbs and we had to cross the river to trek through the palmeries in Skoura. The valley has quite a strong river running through as there had been floods in the area a week before we arrived. We witnessed a village with major damage right through the centre as the water had gushed down the mountain and thruogh the village taking roads, houses and everything with it.

A donkey ride through the palmeries...in Skoura
Thomas was thr first brave one...
Then Lucas took the plunge...
Allanah picked her first wild fig with our guide Hyat...
And then finally took the plunge and boarded the donkey..
Driving the Telouet track...the original trans Saharan caravan route
One of the many kasbahs
Dry rocky mountains and then all of a sudden a valley appears with lush greenery........... 
Notice the line of dirt in the background ....THAT'S THE ROAD...
