Dar Salsa (Cap Sim Trekking) Essaouira

... beaches with flocks of kite surfers decorating the skies and seas. A truly enchanting site.

Pete, Sarah, Phil, Craig and I ventured into town together but we soon segregated leaving Sarah and me to drink our Moroccan tea and do a little shopping in peace. The boys weren’t particularly keen on watching us venture into ...

... gifts for people in the Souk its just really hard saw loads of things for people but try and haggle is annoying I just want to pay a price and it seems silly haggling for like 7 quid nearly bought you a bag Alex but the man was doing my head in so will have to try and find you something else ha ha.

Had some more mint tea in the square and then back to the Riad as Ian is going to the Hamam this is a place where all the locals go ...

... dear as a souvenir) scarf - and they ended up draping it 'round my head and THEY snapped a pic of ME!

- Given my (relatively recent) penchant for collecting a bitty tattoo from each country I visit (o.k. I only have 2 so far - starting w/ my 1st ever in South Africa 5 years ago, followed by a sweet blue and yellow "Om" symbol from Bali ), I was understandably eager to add a permanent Morocco tattoo to my ...

... exception to the other driver talking to John and suddenly the two drivers start throwing punches at each other – serious fighting and then a few of the other drivers standing around see this as an opportunity to join in, so before we know it we’re in the middle of a taxi driver fight!! It eventually gets split up and we jump in a taxi and go to the main square. The riad we are staying in this time is within the souks themselves, its around 11pm by the time we ...

... covered with goats eating it. So strange show=) Look it;)

We had a lot of day free ahead of us so after a little dinner at the hotel I decided to go to our former hotel, Agadir Beach Club with newly found friends=) We sat here listening by beautiful singer, she was performing great, known by everyone, oldies songs, I talked with some french pair sitting next to us=) And when she was ...

Since my last post we have travelled from todra gorge to Essaouria. Todra Gorge was absolutely beautiful. While the rest of the team went on the trek i stayed at the hotel to relax. Based on their stories during our lunch together, i'm glad i stayed back. one of the girls hurt her knee and the other members all felt like they had near death experiences themselves at one point or another on the trek. apparently, the winds really started up on their way ...

... of Arabia, and lots of people would travel back home to their families, so they put an old rattling bus back on the road and it came just at the right time. There was one seat left and it was next to a middle aged woman in a long dress so I wasn't too sure if it would be ok for me to sit there or would I get thrown out of the bus after only 50 meters, but I guess I was tolerable to the community ...

... head in various carrier bags for most of the journey and the rest of us, at various stages with the cold, were sniffing, coughing blowing noses etc! Hey Ho! Despite this, we were all in good spirits and looking forward to reaching the coast. We headed south, leaving the desert sands behind us, and made our way up the winding roads and deep gorges of the High Atlas Mountains, capped with snow. Still enjoying beautiful sunshine but chilly air. The scenery was wonderful and we ...

... at a net profit of about $92000 CDN. Not too shabby...maybe I'll go back...naw, I'll keep her around - hold out for a better offer. Seriously though, offers to buy Terri are meant as a compliment, and nothing else. We've spent our days wandering around town, and sitting around in cafes sipping mint tea or eating gelato. There's plenty of good food here for excellent prices. Our dollar goes FAR here - a nice change from ...

... I've ever been and longing for more. In coming to Morocco, you MUST have a Hammam, preferably an upmarket one that I had for about 180 plus 20 dirham tip (30 dollars). Definitely beats the massages I had in Thailand and Vietnam. If only we had these in Australia. I'd be there every week. Fantastic stuff. Given that we were so imressed with the fish stalls last night we returned for more. Not bad when you ...
