Taddart and Upward

This is Taddart's only street. It's also the highway up to the pass.

There is no hotel in Taddart, but Rick had arranged for us to sleep in this large room upstairs above the restaurant. The beds were narrow but comfortable. Meals were served right outside on a patio. The only problem was that the place across the street also had an upper room like this one--but it was being used for a loud, drunken party that lasted for a long time.

This was a rather abrupt change from our very nice hotel in Marrakech, but the meals were excellent.

The climb from Taddart to the pass would be a steep one. Hill climbing wasn't my priority so I rode the van to the top. A number of other riders made the climb.
