| Highest point of the pass, 2260 mtr |
Early start today, on the road before 8 to drive to Marakesh over the high Atlas. The highest point of the pass (Tishka) is 2260 meters, so quite chilly when we got out for some photos. The roads are really busy, with lots of people on the side of the road waiting to be picked up, ready with luggage and bags of food. Also vans, loaded up to the hilt, sometimes with men hanging off the sides! The reason everyone is traveling is because tomorrow is Sacrifice Day, a holy day in Morocco, where the whole family gets together, a beast gets slaughtered and food is shared (in thirds, one part for your family, one part for friends and family, and the last third to give to the poor).

| Souks in Marakesh |
Unfortunately when we go to Marakesh I was feeling quite unwell so skipped lunch for a sleep. Managed to drag myself out of bed for a walking tour of Marakesh but had to bail halfway through. Fever and other unpleasantness so tucked up in bed. Luckily Brenda, our GP on the tour is looking after me with drugs and drinks.
