As dusk approaches, I once again enter the Rock Wonderland, and I get off the highway to clamber around on the rock formation. Here the magical moments continue: Sitting on a hill with four giant rock pillars around me as if on a giant throne, with the sun setting in the background… Squeezing through the cracks of giant boulders split in two… and finally, sitting down to play my set, with geological beauty all around, as a herd of goats passes by, being driven to their pens for the night. The herdsman pauses for a little chat—just to be friendly, nothing more…

And finally my beautiful day comes to an end. I pass through one more village in the darkness, then past Aguerd once more, and through the canyon to Tafraoute.
