It's time to head back north. I've left my road tyres in Azrou and the blokey doesn't work Sundays (outrageous!).

When I reached the bottom of this slope I was flagged to a halt by a local driver who wanted to know if this was the road to Agadir. I guess he must have know a westerner would have a map! It is the road, if you were thinking of going yourself.

The next bit of road

after the roadworks

To the north of the High Atlas it gets a lot greener

and this is the food basket of Morocco

Actually, this was along one of the few flat straight (-ish) bits of road I found and I was merrily caning it along here at a whopping 100kph! You still can't go very fast because of road works, missing tarmac, crazy car drivers and around here combine harvesters in the road. You'll note it's harvest time in Morocco in mid May.
