... nice though. I was tired, and frustrated from the
days proceedings, and opted to stay inside the hotel while Milli and Nick
walked around and then when it started storming Milli and I had a early night.

We woke pretty
early and went for a wander, then back to the hotel for a breakfast of jam,
bread, spongy pancake thingies and coffee. Milli and Nick wanted to see some
sights, all I wanted to do was walk around the souqs so we split up for the
day.

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.

Between BIG sleeps and snuggles with the resident cats, camp land lord and lovely courtyard at our hotel, we wound our way amongst the amazing stalls, scenery and scents of an awesome place.

... not a bit curious at us. I found a young boy beside me today, keeping apace, just staring up at me. Susan said some of the women she’s passed who are covered head-to-toe including a veil say something [positive], even if she didn’t first nod or say “salam”.

Last night we ate in the riad. We are its only guests; someone new arrives on our day three. We ate a delicious feast by the pool, below ...

... started leading us down this incredible maze of streets packed with people and motorcycles and donkeys pulling carts... When we had to duck our heads down to enter what looked more like a cave than a street...we were starting to wonder where the hell he was taking us. But when we arrived at the riad... the place was beautiful. It has an open courtyard with plants and lanterns and chirping birds... even though I came to hate the ...

... originates in Palestine. So here I am, and sometimes I do wonder if I stepped on board a Boeing 737 to get here, or was it really a time machine. Luckily, every few minutes you get almost run over by a motorcycle in those narrow winding streets, so the time machine is kind of out of the question, but then you walk a little further, take a side lane into some spooky neighbourhood and start to wonder again. There ...

This is the current score based on the recent events after our last entry. We headed back from the internet café to [Djemma El Fna Square] to look around for a place for dinner. We found a cool restaurant overlooking the square, so we could see all the action from above, but not be right in the middle of it. We had a great seat outside, great dinner and got a lot of really good pictures. Our total meal came to about $22. (Marrakech $22) Our ...

... br>Jantamos dentro da haima, um Tagine maravilhoso de frango,
arroz branco para limpar e muitas, muitas bananas, cola sem gás e pão,
o pão é divinal.
A noite, o silencio não consigo descrever, não tenho palavras, é é não sei...adorei.
As estrelas parecem que estão a meio metro dos nossos olhos.
Dia seguinte decidimos regressar a nossa vida de "Lords" pois não é facil a vida de nomada.
Meu Deus mais horas de dromedário.....AIIIIIII o meu rabo ...

... is, for the most part, pretty well labelled. In English, no less. I was looking for Waterloo stop W, and couldn't confuse it for stops A, B, J, H, or V-- all of which I encountered before reaching W. I couldn't mistake buses 186 or 181 for bus 211, both of which arrived before mine did. Though, once on the clearly labelled 211, I confirmed with the driver that it would take me to Victoria Station. No need to get complacent. He said it would, and he was correct. However, it didn't ...
