The turquoise blue lake is looking quite impressive in that beautiful place. I would like to visit that place someday near in future.

Fantastic! I’m in New Zealand right now – wasn’t that Devil’s Staircase insaaaane? We did the tramp backwards to avoid crowds but it was almost harder to climb down those lava stairs rather than up!

Well done! what great weather you had too. I had a couple of friends who tried to hike it but ended up needing to crawl down on hands and knees due to fiercely strong winds.

I have been, but sadly it was six years ago, I was on a student budget (meaning I stayed and ate at the cheapest place possible), and I remember nothing other than that the souks rock and I couldn’t drink enough mint tea! Also, we went on a day trip to Essaouria, and it wasn’t really worth it in case you’re enticed to do the same. But if you have time to head over to the Sahara while there, you should definitely take it!

Good question–I’m inclined to say hot due to all the hot springs in the area, the volcanic terrain and the sulphur smell, but I didn’t go in them so I can’t say for sure!

Those turqouise blue lakes in the brown landscape look very inviting, are they cold or hot?

Lovely pictures – you were really lucky with the weather, so perfect!
And you were also pretty fast, I normally need twice the time the rangers suggest, as I constantly do picture- and piknic breaks If I ever go to NZ, I will for sure do this hike!!
Have a lovely day, Kristina
Oh, and I will be leaving for Marrakech on Saturday – have you been (by any chance)? If yes, any recommendations??
