28. Khenifra to Beni Mellal

What a joy to be able to cycle out of the garage in the morning…instead of manhandling bikes down stairs etc!

Another lovely day of riding.

Up and down almost all day….with a little more down than up….as we edged along the foothills of the Atlas mountains.

We are really enjoying this part of Morocco.

And another day without espying a single tourist!

We dropped down from the hills…..and the change in the landscape ahead was quite stark!

Flat and straight run into Beni Mallal…..a somewhat repetitive 30km after the last few days!

We saw very little of the city…to be fair.

Buggered as usual….but we found two bars!! This one….

…you just have to know about it!……

….and then just near here….

La Cignone. The stork! Unusually….with a sign outside!

You see storks everywhere here!

“I am stork at the top”

“I am stork at the bottom”

“I am just stork in the middle” said the stork stuck in the middle.

Cheapest beers we have found in Morocco here. 

Located on a busy busy square…with all the women and children out to play (NEVER in the bars!)…as we headed off to bed! A good vibe here too!
