Well, my leg seems to be recovering well. Today I only had a little light exercise walking around the falls.
My hotel
Is comfortably located with a stunning view across the valley. In the morning I awoke to the sun rising behind the mountains, gradually lighting up the terrace outside my room as it rose.
Not bad for £20 per night (with breakfast!).
Clean air feels great.
During the course of the morning, I did a little catching up with computer things and went to the pharmacy to find out about a bandage.
Bandages
The guy had two types, a standard dressing type of bandage, and an elasticated sports bandage.
The second type is the type that’s required. It’s kind of a ligament strain that comes and goes. Seeing as I won’t be needing it until I start moving again, I put that purchase off a little. My leg has been improving and it would be better to get something that’s going to work and be reusable, like a proper joint compact. I didn’t understand some of the French on the label. It looked like velcro but said ‘adhesive’.
I’m moving on to a large town tomorrow. We’ll see if I can get something I want there.
The falls
All very pleasant. Not thronging with tourists as I had been expecting. Not too polluted either. Still fish and frogs in the river and the place wasn’t covered in plastic bags.
There were a few Europeans and Western types. Not as many as I’d been expecting seeing as this is billed as one of the main excursions from Marrakech.
Took some nice photos. Chatted with a few locals. Didn’t buy anything. Currently trying to offload baggage rather than buy any more.
