The scenery is quite stunning with the Atlas Mountains off in the distance and we notice some snow covered peaks (who would have thought snow in Morocco). We round a bend and suddenly find ourselves in Switzerland! A town called Ifrane was constructed by the King as he wanted a little piece of Switzerland in Morocco. It's good to be the King! Cedar trees and chalets abound and it apparently is quite the ski resort in Winter.
We stop for a coffee then continue on and the landscape changes again to resemble more like the Arizona Desert. We break for lunch in a sizable hotel in the middle of nowhere which has a fossil/meteorite museum attached. This will be the norm for the next couple of hundred kilometres.
