At mid-day we arrive at Safi, a port town halfway to Essaouaria famed for its ceramics. We parked and were directed across the roads to a hillside which comprised the ceramics workshops cooperative.

In a mixture of French and English, we made it clear that Pat was a ceramic artist, which interested him somewhat, and I ...

The last couple of days were a bit hectic with the long drives, and hiking. I was getting quite tired, so when we rolled up to the seaside town of Essaouira I was ready for some relaxation. This town is primarily a fishing town, but its long sandy beaches and moderate temperatures have made this a tourist destination for many Europeans. The town is very typical. I wall surrounds the old medina, but the main difference for Essaouira is that is was once ...
