T 'IZNIET* AT TIZNIT

Tiznit is situated about 50 km inland from the coast, just under Agadir. We reached this town partially by very dusty tracks but most of the tracks had been asphalted over the recent years so not much off-road!

Dad didn't mind too much as he was the one disappearing in a huge dust-cloud from he Defender every time we turned on a track.

We quickly found our hotel without the need of a guide this time, just outside of yet another fortified Medina. 

Once all the baggage was taken out of the cars we decided to have a walk around the place, but somehow this town just didn't seem to 'have it'. Many of the little shops were closed and there was a certain coziness missing somehow.

We decided to check out the local swimmingpool but unfortunately for the boys it was closing at 17h .. they had only 30 mins. left. Well, with the afternoon heat there was not much to do but to chill with a drink at a terrace and so we did!

Tiznit just isn't it ...... but we enjoyed the relaxing afternoon before heading off to the beaches of Sidi Ifni tomorrow!

* T'isniet est un jeu de mot en Hollandais sur Tiznit. Cela veut dire: ce n'est pas ça (ce n'est pas ce à qoui nous attendions)

*T'isniet is a wordplay in Dutch on Tiznit meaning it is not what we expected
