“The journey home is never a direct route; it is, in fact, always circuitous, and somewhere along the way, we discover that the journey is more significant than the destination.”—Paul Brenner (Nelson DeMille’s book, Up Country)

Bouarfa

Figuig is at the end of the line and you have only two chances to leave (7 or 8 AM).
We caught the late bus to Bouarfa.

As we arrived in Bouarfa, a torrent of rain came down. Soon the roads
were turned into fast flowing rivers. We became drown rats just by getting off the bus and fetching our bags.  We grabbed a cab and soon we were at our PC friend's house. Cab driver refused payment.  Ate breakfast consisting of strong coffee with milk and eggs.

Midday has been spent lying about and drying out. Later this afternoon we will buy bus fair to Errachidia.

Tomorrow will be a long bus ride. Bouarfa to Errachidia is 5 hours.
From Errachidia we will travel by bus to Erfoud (2 hours), and take a
cab from Erfoud to Merzouga (?? hours ??).

In Merzouga we will hook-up for our camel trek into the desert.

FYI, Air France may go on strike October 16 to protest changes to government pensions. Petrol distributors may also go on strike. Rail service may be disrupted in France.
