Finally arriving to the desert

We woke up at eleven am to out phone ringing in our four star hotel room. It was the restaurant wondering if we take our breakfast at the terrace or in our room. We decided to take it in our room as we both were getting ready for the two more hour drive to merzouga the gateway to the Moroccan Sahara. We were served omelet and breads and coffee and orange juice. We ate and went to pay our bill. Of course we just changed everything to our room as we were out of cash. 890 dirham for dinner drinks including bottle of wine breakfast and our room. That's about 95$. Well worth it. We then headed to go further south and make it on time to merzouga. We grabbed waters from a gas station and filled the car with gas. We took some stops at scenic overlooks including the palm tree oasis that went for miles and miles. It was like a giant grove of palms in the middle if the Grand Canyon. Breath taking. We made it to erfound and drive past a pizzeria. Have I mentioned I've been craving pizza since day 3? We grabbed more cash at the ATM. That's 600$ we have withdrawn for the two of us including numerous nights in hotels not too bad but still an expensive trip to Matt's standards. And went to the pizzeria. It was good and 9$ for a 14" pizza and two coke zeros.
