After a tour of the capital, Rabat, where we visited the king's palace- a little city all of its own - to the mausoleum of the kings. Both very breath taking places - we headed to the River which separates Rabat and Sale ( salee). Sale is where people live but work in Rabat due to the high cost of buying a home in the capital. We had short break which proved to be a delightful spot - river breeze ferry boats somewhere you could just sit and gaze out with a good book in hand. However are stops are sooo short only really enough for us ladies to queue up for our turn to relieve ourselves get a quick coffee fix and back on again to have our bladders shaken around ready for our next stop in two hours.
The countryside is very different to the cities we have visited. Little communes all along the way donkeys cows sheep fruit trees and vegetable growing with lots of people out and about tending everything. Banana palms could be seen all covered up possibly so they do not too ripe in this dry heat. Lots of beautiful colors of washing hanging out on clothes lines. - no hills hoists around this neck of the woods - just lines of rope held up by poles .
