Travelling

A visit to a traditional Berber home was fun. These houses were linked by secret underground tunnels, accessed from under the beds (as shown below). Apparently for defensive purposes – but I wonder if also for romantic assignations?…..

A Camel Ride on a blisteringly hot day was a bit of an ordeal – but has to be enjoyed!
