... snakes and their charmers. Oh and monkeys on

or sitting on their shoulders. We went home for a rest as it was super hot at
this point.

From the fun flats of Marrakech...we made our way to the High Atlas mountains for well...mountains of magnificent hiking and views.

Jebel Toubkal stands at 4200m above sea level and at that is the highest most point in northern Africa and also a bit of a mission! We made it up the mighty mountain in a few days and did some sleeping, sun burning and Scrabble in there as well. An absolutely incredible adventure!

Back down and all set to embark on a road trip to Fez!

... magnificent mazes of Marakesh. After the events of my manic few months back in Britain, i was up for a few days of down time but the city soon sucked me in.

So after 20 minutes of walking amidst whining scooter motors, donkeys pulling wooden-wheel carts, jostling pedestrians and never-absent hucksters, it became too much.

... cityness of Barcelona. Next day we moved to Salamanca, where, not surprisingly, it was still raining. Under the cover of an umbrella and dodging puddles, we hurriedly checked out the main sights - the Plaza Mayor, the Casa de las Conchas (House of Shells) and the university, complete with ornate faced of sculptures and carvings that hides a tiny stone frog that if spotted, legend says, will bring you luck in studies, life and ...

... mt, respira-se...umas vistas fabulosas, vimos o
Toujbkal o segundo monte mais alto de Africa 4.167 mt.
Ait Benhaddou
um Kashbah fabuloso, bem tratado dentro das suas possibilidades, mais
uma vez labiríntico. Com uma cor ao final do dia quente, muito quente,
uma terracota quase vermelha. Aqui comprei a minha recordação da viagem
o tapete. Aqui foram gravados filmes como "A Jóia do Nilo", "Lawrence
da Arábia", "Jesus de Nazaré".

... are we worth. Very funny. I just tell them, not today, maybe tomorrow....or my latest line which comes in handy many times for a good laugh is enshula - if god wills - moroccans say this all the time and they enjoy it when we throw in a few words we have learnt here and there. Everyone asumes we are English straight away, or fish and chips as they call the poms. Then when we tell them we are Australian we get the usual list of Australian animals and then Sydney and ...
