La Villa Argane Marrakech

... After a stressful spell though the buzz of Marrakech makes me appreciate all we have experienced and everything us Westerners have even more. Morocco is more amazing than i remembered with its incredible colours, culture and continuous backdrop of distant mountain ranges.

Reality beckons as we are back by Chrimbo but for now we are losing ourselves in all sorts of surreal and out-standing cinema in the sunny but still cold capital...

Efter att ha tillbringat natten på en kall flygplats i Barcelona var det otroligt skönt att igår eftermiddag äntligen komma fram till Marrakesh och få vila hela eftermiddagen på vårt toppenmysiga riad (typ hotell) "Marhaba”. Mot våra förväntningar var Marrakesh kallt och regnigt, så vi fick plocka fram elementet i rummet och dra på oss långkalsongerna.

Idag är det fint soligt väder och vi ...

... significantly cheaper and their Trans went quite a bit further. We have run into the Oasis truck on numerous occasions and yes it is much nicer with coach seats and a better sound system but I'd rather sacrifice such things to be able to do more on my trip. I mean over $1000 in savings can go quite a long ways in side trips like rafting and shark diving. I would advise if you are choosing an overlanding trip that if you need the extra comfort to go with ...

... on the toilets since there were no toilet seats, but you can't be picky when it comes to these things. Well at least we would have hot showers for three days.

It really sucks to have such a weak stomach in Africa. I spent the better part of our first day in Marrakech worshiping the porcelain goddess, so I missed the first day in the city but felt well enough to go to the Marjane with Summer and Gavin where we loaded up on lunch supplies and had some incredibly delicious ...

I write this to you with the remnants of henna on my hand. My trip to Morocco was my last grand adventure during my time abroad before returning home, and it was a perfect trip to end with!

On Wednesday, November 25 I looked at my Outdoor Programs CamelBak in awe that everything I needed for my first time to Africa fit in it. But it did! I got the Aerobus to the airport way too early and ended up waiting awhile, but it was a good amount of time to get my head around the idea that I ...

... with the waxing and waning of the various dynasties that make up the somewhat tangled history of this land. Morocco is roughly the same size as California and bears a striking resemblance to it at times. Accordingly we have arbitrarily decided that Chefchaouen is the Humboldt (mountains, marijuana, hippies) and Fes is the San Francisco (hills, narrow streets, city dwellers, cafes). Along this convention, we have decided that today's Marrakesh is the Los Angeles of ...

Having spent most of the train ride from Casablanca standing in the airy carriage connection area, rather than seated in our suffocating cabin with understandably grizzly children, we arrived back in Marrakech almost a month to date from whence we landed. The scenery change from green ladden hills to cactus ladden flats indicated we´d definitely made it back to the central desert region of the country. Having ...

... cookies, the great moroccan bread I have grown to love. Coffees come, so does water, orange juice and more mint tea. Its all you can eat as well. After gorging ourselves, we decide the best course of action is to get lost in the souk. Marrakesh medina is the largest in all of Morocco (I think) so it is a somewhat daunting task. We start out slow, easing our way into the laberynth of streets. The sandal shop, with every conceivable type of sandal ...
