2025-02-26: We arrived in Ifrane, the alternative capital of Morocco, to find out that our room for the night was not available. So, we went to visit a lake in town. After dinner, we showed back up at the apartment. What a terrible place. Most of the lights did not work, it was freezing, and the water did not really work either.
2025-02-27: Early morning at the accommodation.
