TAROUDANNT
- A BUZZING FORTIFIED TOWN -
We arrived
at Taroudannt after a 3-hour drive,
amazed by the impressive beautiful walls surrounding this buzzing Berber town.
Once having
entered by one of its main gates, we were once again met by a local on a moped
who guided us to our hotel. He lead us out and all around the superb walls to
enter via a different gate and took us through the heart of Taroudannt , to end
up almost at our entry point. “Cheers brother for the guided tour!” This has become almost a standard procedure
when arriving at a new destination …
Hotel
Taroudannt turned out to be a very typically Moroccan-style hotel beautifully
decorated with their well-known tiles. We booked 2 rooms on the top floor of
the hotel looking out on an inside green patio and with a big terrace all around. For the first time we had an air-conditioning
which Keone decided to program at 16°c with an outside temperature well above
the 30’s!!!
After a
late lunch and having settled down we took off to walk around. Taroudannt was
well alive with many locals criss-crossing everywhere, by foot, mopeds, cars,
carts pulled by horsed and what not! We enjoyed the local souk and all that was
for sale there. It reminded me of Riyadh and partly of my childhood years in
Africa…
We sat down
on one of the main squares to enjoy a mint-tea and to take in the daily activities
of the locals there. The boys watched an old Moroccan entertain the crowd with
two pythons and a black cobra… the snakes weren’t too active ans seemed to be overfed but the man
himself was quite a show!

Tomorrow we
will continue our trip back towards the coastline hoping to find some waves to surf
for the boyzzz …
