This was an 8 days trip to the Atlas Mountains in Morocco with Thomas and Erik (from Kamchatka), 5 other guests (Peder, Jonas, Fred, Micke and Daniel) and two guides (Kristin and Mikke), in February 2004.

"Our" house in Imlil is the big, light gray one on the left.

|

We pass another village on the way. I don't know its name.
|

|

|

|

A short rest after a couple of hours, but we've still only begun climbing.
|

|

As we get higher, we start to see snow.
|

|

In these sheds, high up in the mountain, you can buy lots of useful stuff like carpets, fossiled shark teeth, rocks, caps, knives, and Coca Cola in glass bottles.

|

They carry a lot, these donkeys!
|

The donkeys catch up with us while we finish our cokes and promises to look at the rest of the stuff they have for sale when we return from the mountain in a few days.
|

Puh, it looks heavy!
|

We push on, up into the snow storm.

The donkeys are still with us. Impressive!
|

Eventually it gets to difficult for the donkeys, and the carriers take over.
