Salaam from Marocco

Essaouira:
... drive 3 hours to the coast. The road is boringly like north of Gawler: straight, dry, flat. We find our accommodation (nice), in Essaouira and walk 20 minutes along the beach front to the old town. The beach is full of people all of whom seem to be ...

... and reduces carbon emissions by 256,000 tons each year. Additional wind farms opened in 2009 and 2010 further increasing Morocco's use of "green" energy. Our final stop was a beautiful beach where we saw a wonderful sunset and waded in the ...

Essaouira and Marrakesh

Essaouira
Four of us opted to walk up to a shrine on Mount Toubkal. Apparently it is the only muslim shrine anywhere, cause muslims are not usually into that sort of thing. Great walk up a narrow track. Lots of Germans and French people passed us, getting their ...
Aid el Kebir

A day in Essaouira
Mike and I went downstairs at 7 for breakfast but were told it wasn't till 8, so we headed out for a walk to the port and surrounds. Went back for breakfast then had a guided walk around the port area and through the medina. Went into a co-op where they ...
Essaouira: Catch of the Day

Seaside relaxation

Relaxing day on Sidi Kaouki Beach

Extra on a film set!
... what a day! I woke up around to having forgotten Nico's message. I soon got ready and by 8.00am, we were in Essaouira and enjoying a brilliant second breakfast of croissants, crepes and omelettes\! I was stuffed! Then, I found out we were possibly going ...
