Kasbah du Toubkal, Imlil |
We started off at the Kasbah du Toubkal in Imlil, which requires a very steep 10 minute climb to reach. The photo was taken as we were leaving, not as we arrived with red cheeks!
Some people were tired by the climb and a bit grumpy to have their photo taken yet again!
...but was soon back to his usual cheery self - revived by an orange juice!
There was still quite a lot of snow on the mountains...
After climbing back down the steep hill and eating a very yummy tagine at a basic but clean cafe, we drove a short distance back toward Marrakech and stopped for a drink at Kasbah Tamadot bought by Sir Richard Branson in 1998 and now owned by the Virgin group.
It really is a gorgeous spot and perfect for a cool drink in a shady spot.

It was my curved ruler from Jenny at Sew Kind of Wonderful! I love her curved labels.
It arrived beautifully packaged and with a huge `FRAGILE` sticker stuck across the front. Except this wasn`t enough as some clumsy wotzit in the world`s postal system had obviously dropped it and broken it!
See that crack? It`s right at the end of the groove for cutting! I have used it and it is so well designed that I can still cut with it. However, the wonderful Jenny emailed me straight back and said she was sending me another as she was all about customer service. I didn`t expect that at all and just love it. So thank you Jenny and I`m sure it will arrive in one piece this time! I`ve got a feeling it`s going to arrive with more than one sticker this time!
For those of you who were so kind about my labels, they are from labelname.co.uk - easy to order, quick and very reasonable. Win, win....win!

It looks wonderful! What are you going to make with your fab new ruler?
That's it I'm packing my case and coming to move in with you!! Such gorgeous pictures!!!. The postal service really take some liberties with peoples items! So nice of her to send you another =D
What lovely pictures you took. The mountains and scenery are wonderful.
Sounds like you had a really fun day - good to have fun with your little man and mum.
Looks like a lovely day. Love the look of the Kasbah, very luxurious. Also love the uncooperative shot of your
son.
what a perfect last day with your mom. I want to save my pennies and stay at that gorgeous resort...some day.
See you tomorrow, as I am flying as fast as I can to get there for my visit with you.

Oh - I've put that kasbah on my list of places to visit...the list is getting longer! Can't wait to see what you make with that ruler.
I so want to come hang out with you and go to nice places, drink nice fruity cocktails and pretend we are guests in expensive places. Then go back and play with your curved ruler - which by the time I get there will be one that isn't cracked. (What fab customer service!)
I too want to come to see the beautiful place you live in. My ruler came last week too, but without incident. I have yet to try it out, I look forward to seeing what you make.
Sounds like a great day, even if you had to wave your mum off again the next day
