Riad ksar ighnda

We arrived very late at our hotel- both due to leaving the desert late and the bad lunch service- there was also a "misunderstanding" about whether dinner was included or not/ Ali said we had to stop at the tour operations office which in the end was good as we each understood each other's position and they ended up taking us to dinner- a much more local place in the hotel they would have organized for us if we had not organized our own. Drivers and guides have their own room to eat and relax away from clients. The menus are all more or less the same but obviously always a bit different- we each have our thoughts as to which was the best tangine, salad (not what we call salad), bread, brochettes, cous cous. Our hotel (riad) was beautiful and had interesting little details such a magnificent curtain ties, silver hooks for towels made of Fatima's hand, shampoo and body wash holders of silver filafgree, and unusual  toilet paper holders. It was very windy and chilly. Julian and Niles needed a break from each other so Julian and I bunked together and Niles with the other ladies. Te other nights so far we have stayed as respective families.
