The Gathering Storm

And to think we went away to Playa Blanca for a week to get away from the rain……tut!

Golden Mountains

When we stepped outside the hotel in Playa Blanca, we could see these mountains in the distance, bathed in the light from the setting sun:

Lanzarote Sunset

We spent the first week of October enjoying a bit of R&R in Playa Blanca on Lanzarote, one of the Canary Islands off the North West coast of Africa:

Essaouira Sunset

Before I took any of these shots…..I slipped over on the wet rocks!!

My hat and sunglasses went flying (the latter not to be found again) and I banged up my left arm pretty badly and I suspect cracked a rib or two. I say suspect, because I didn’t go and get it checked out mainly because spending a few hours in a Moroccan A&E wasn’t exactly high on my list of things to do and also because unless you break a rib to the point where it punctures a lung, then there isn’t really anything they can do……you just have to rest up and take pain killers.

Thankfully the camera remained undamaged and I was determined to take a few shots of the sunset before I hobbled back to the Riad:

Sunset, Essaouira, Morocco, North Africa

Unfortunately I was in quite a lot of pain and discomfort for the remainder of the trip (and for three or four weeks when we got home) and although my darling wife did a great job of patching me up it did somewhat curtail what we had planned to do in the Atlas Mountains….our final stop on our mini tour of Morocco.
