Riad Akka Marrakech

Confirming my ever-strong belief in fate and allworking out eventually, we ended up in Morocco right on time for the 2009 Marrakech Film Festival! As film fanatics, we hot-well, actually cold-footed it-from freezing cold Casa to Marrakech making it just in time for films galore...

Getting back to the Western world is weird after adventures in African countries like Mali and Senegal as it seems so different yet only a drive-or even briefer flight ...

... jda efter ett besök på torget där vi blev inkastade i Borats lilla hörn och avnjöt grillspett, grönsaker, och de klassiska pitabröd som verkar vara den enda brödsort de har här. På torget kan man även äta sniglar som säljs i små stånd och dricka nypressad apelsinjuice eller te och titta på magdans, ormtjusare, gubbar som går runt och spelar på ett litet instrument och snurrar med tofsen på sin hatt m.m. Här verkar det ok ...

... 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 ...

... sweet bread with butter and jam and it was so tasty. After he gave us some maps of the place and told us all the best place to go. We are staying in a traditional Riad in the old town and its amazing. We have a mezzanine floor and a roof terrace that looks over the whole of Marrakech and the Atlas mountains in the distance. We dumped our bags and got out into the sunshine its hot again yeah. We got lost walking through all the streets there are the usual bag sellers and ...

... And oh my, we had the best balcony seats in the house as the sun turned the scene to a rosy glow and the square came alive w/ smokey food stalls, snake charmers, jugglers, magicians, et al as darkness descended.

All in all, a most magical night to top off my fantastic adventures in Morocco.

... loser who’s told to go over there….I watch his confusion but, to his credit, he seems to eventually get to an officer over by the H1N1/Swine Flu sensor area and have something done because he comes back in a much more purposeful gait. This time, Susan holds our place in line…..I go to the guy in the white shirt who interrogates me about when I left Canada (the incubator of all bad diseases), then he bashes ...

Yey weve arrived We got off the plane and spent ages getting through passport security to go and get our bags, luckily because it took so long all the bags were already out: we went to pick them up and after looking at the conveyabelt i realised mine wasnt there: i wasnt too worried though, thinking they hadnt put them all out already: we sat on the floor for a while before i realised there was a couple of bags that had fell off the conveyabelt: after taking a ...

... confusion near Setti Fatma as the river level was up and had eliminated part of the road into town. After completing a half hour detour on the advice of some locals we realized that the main obstacle was about a foot and a half of water, maybe ten feet across. Obviously they pegged us for the kind of people that dissolve when coming into contact with liquid. Possibly due to our hygiene level at the time. One more note: 30 km? By helicopter maybe.... Now we find ourselves in ...
