Morocco Part 1: hiking in the Ourika Valley

We spent our Christmas holiday in Morocco with the girls and Jon, and it was amazing! Brian and I got there a few days early and enjoyed 2 full days of hiking in the Ourika Valley with stunning views of the High Atlas Mountains. We stayed at this amazing hotel called the Kasbah Bab Ourika, an eco-lodge sitting right below snowy peaks. Stunning. On our first day of hiking, we trekked for 20 kilometres into Berber villages that never see foreigners. It was exceptional. We also got to make an impromptu visit to a small, local olive press where the guys served us some olive oil straight from the press. Our foodie hearts rejoiced!   :)
