We woke up early at 6:30am, and went on a hike to the top of a mountain to see the sunrise over Chefcheoun. There was also a mosque at the top of the mountain that was really beautiful. The hike was very early and it was VERY cold, but totally worth it! The view was breathtaking and to see the pink and orange sky over the sleepy town was incredible. We also took one of my favorite photos--the one with all of us sitting lined up on the ledge and facing the town.
We made the climb back down the mountain for a traditional Moroccan breakfast. We had this cornbread-like round with honey, apricot jam, and the most delicious and mild goat cheese I've ever tasted. We also had the "Moroccan crepe" and fresh butter. Of course there was also mint tea and coffee (so I was happy). After breakfast, it was back to the hostel to pack because we still had a 2 1/2 hour drive to the port.
At the port, we said our goodbyes to Simo and Juan, and thanked them for an amazing experience. The ride back home was much smoother than the one there, so before we knew it, we were back in Spain. It was then another few hours to Granada, so by the time we got home everyone was ready for a hot shower and a nice sleep.
I had a wonderful time in Morocco, and I know that I won't forget the people I met and the places I saw because it was truly a once in a lifetime experience. I am so grateful that I was given the opportunity to visit such a beautiful country and make some new friends!
