The back straight - Heading for the coast

Wet & cold it maybe here but nowhere near that that we saw back home on chicken noodle news (CNN).

The turning mountain roads changed to dull flat agriculture & the car was sprayed a Moroccan shade of dirty red/brown by the trucks that we passed en route for the capitol - Rabat. The poor subsistence agriculture pictured below turned to full scale production & lost the charm of village communities that work the land.



The city character echoed those of the road conditions. We'd plied ourselves with some delicious peanut & caramel chocolate and began to feel slightly brighter & more upbeat. As we explored the streets some more our impressions of the city sweetened; it's a low hassle, cosmopolitan place full of young locals trying to emulate their Europeans counterparts.



We day trip it by train it to Casablanca next then explore the coastal road to Essaouira with the possibility of some surfing along the way depending on both temperature & nerve.
