- Woke up - The Moroccon Mudslide has begun - had an emotional time on the toilet.
- Braved it and went to the Hamam - which is a bath house with a steam room, scrubbing and massage room - very refreshing but had to hang on.

Todra Gorge - Rock Climbing
16.10.2006
- Met two locals who will take you rock climbing for 15 Euros.
- They have some well used shoes for you to use with holes in them etc, dont explain any safety rules, no waiver forms to sign etc - just harness up and start climbing.
- I went up first - at that point you start thinking whether you trust the equipment and the bloke (only wears one shoe)who holds your life in his hands should you fall is up the task.
- We did three climbs - the highest was approx 50m - the hardest had a small overhang and took me two attempts to get over - when you're 25m up and you cant hold any more its a bit a of a mind job just letting go!
- After the rock climb we went into the town and picked up some kebabs - point of note dont eat the local meat - after this point my trip turned into a ´Moroccon Mudslide´! I am still sufferring at the time of writing 7 days after the event.
