Greentours UK<p>Bislama/good bye to <a href="https://toot.community/tags/Morocco" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Morocco</span></a>. This was a wetter tour than usual and it’s really good news as it possibly means a severe, multi years drought is finally over in this beautiful country. And bye to the beautiful “Sel d’Ailleurs” in Marigha, we’ll sure be back next year!</p>
