Guess what!!! It is RAINING here, and instead of being at the bivouac we are now in a hotel for the night. The roads were flooded on the way here - we were stopped at a creek crossing for 3 hours before we decided to forge across anyway in the busses. Everyone is saying that it was a near death experience - the water was very deep and fast flowing.
We finally made it to the town at 8pm (we left at 9am) and - after another long wait - we are now installed in a hotel because the bivouac is under water! Who would have thought that I would come to Morocco to race in the desert and have it be flooded?
We are all hoping the rain will stop (the idea of sleeping in wet sleeping bags does not appeal to anyone) but now when the sun comes out it is going to be EXTREMELY humid.
Anyway - that is my update so far. Obviously I arrived here OK and made it to the hotel etc. I went for a run last night in Ouazazate and promptly got lost. Another lady was doing the same thing on Wednesday and fell over and broke her arm! SUCH bad luck. I think that is how I got lost - I was so busy looking at where I put my feet that I didn't watch the roads enough to find my way back. Got there after asking directions from a series of people that didn't speak English :)
