Meknes
... ; A souk is nothing more than an outdoor mall in the old city and it can be tiring window shopping along with all of Morocco. Crowds throng around shoe salesmen and tablecloth salesmen in a frenzy for no reason. It's much nicer staying out of ...

A long day
... mice, rabbits and hamsters. Despite the nice ride today, we have decided that there are some countries not meant to be cycled and Morocco is one of them. I'm sure if you can get yourself up into the High Atlas and trek, or, dip in and out ...
Early wake up call
... of industry with everyone free to do as they please, or so it seems. Health and safety rules and regulations obviously haven't hit Morocco yet, by the looks of some of the wood and metal workshops. In the street there were baskets of left over stale ...
nice friendly city

volubilis **
Meknes Pour la petite histoire, je déteste cette ville. L'ambiance y est glauque et toute les fois où j'y suis venue, je n'ai eu qu'une envie : repartir au plus vite ! Passant dans le coin pour nous rendre à Volubilis, on nous a hébergé.. ...
