Day 91 - Agadir, Morocco

 

Tuesday, we were in Agadir, Morocco. This is a resort town  on the southern Atlantic coast of Morocco in the Anti-Atlas Mountains

Our excursion here was "Fantasia Horse Show". 

Because of the high winds, we ended staying here over-night and sailed for Casablanca first thing Wednesday morning



Nothing special about the sunrise

Except we had a short rain shower during it.
