A couple of Morocco photos

Hi, the food here has finally caught up with me (and a few others in the group) and I've got diarrhoea so I'm taking it easy tonight so I thought I'd put some photos up for your viewing pleasure...


This is the Berber village of Ait Ben Haddou. All the buildings are made out of clay from the surrounding mountainside.






the same village viewed from the top of the hill











and through a hole in the wall












I really like this photo but I'm not sure how good it looks on the computer. It's of some sand dunes in the Sahara desert and you can see the shadow of me riding a camel



this is my black and white artistic shot, it's the view I got of the rest of the 'caravan' while I was riding my camel







this is Abdul (the guy leading my camel) sitting on top of a dune in the early morning light








here you can see the sun rising over the Sahara











this is some of the group making their way back to breakfast after watching the sunrise









this is one of the many open air butcheries in Morocco. This particular one has a camel's head displayed out the front to let everyone know that they sell camel meat! These places have all sorts of bits (heads, toes, spleen, livers etc - sometimes even a fairly normal looking steak) hanging on hooks out the front. Everytime I walk past one the smell makes me gag and I consider becoming a vegetarian.

That's all for now. See ya.
