Today we have had a chill day & mostly sunbathed on the terrace, read, played cards & wandered around the village shopping for souvenirs. Tonight is our last in the mountains. Tomorrow we leave immediately after breakfast for Marrakech where some of the girls plan to take a Moroccan cooking class; there will no doubt be more sunbathing & shopping & hopefully some time in the spa.

At the top we were greeted by a picnic lunch of fresh salad, rice, tuna, cheese &am...
