Riad Nejma Lounge 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 ...

... som glider runt i en slags rockar med stor luva som kallas jellaba. Allra finast är de män som matchar denna med en fez på huvudet, men solglajjer är också en poppis acessoar. Det har varit otroligt mycket intryck under dagen så nu vilar vi med en kopp marockanskt te på terrassen och laddar för att ikväll gå ner till det stora torget, Djemaa el-Fna, som är stället där allt händer kvällstid.

Lite senare. Mätta och ...

... 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 ...

... 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.

Ah, Marrakech. What can I say about it? This city will have a home in my heart forever. I will never, ever forget it or the wonderful people I met there...

So after a horribly long night on the floor of Frankfurt Hahn airport, I crankily rolled off the plane and into the customs and immigration line. I hand the man my passport.

"You come with me", he says.

Great.

He led me off and made me fill out a second ...

... cream shop selling just about every flavour you could think of. Stuffing my face with cookies and cream icecream, I walked back to my room thinking it doesn't get much better than this. We had travelled a lot today and were very tired so some of us decided to eat at a funky Italian restaurant next to the hotel for convenience. There were two very attractive young blonde women, who were obviously an item, sitting near us and quite frankly it was a wonder we got served ...

... beer (which good Muslims don't do) and taking photos. They are just irritating, the type with rolling suitcases and thick accents who make the waiters bend to their wishes. I mean, I'm glad they're traveling, but they're not for me, and there are a surprising number of them. The other inconvenience is that, as a Westerner, I am constantly hit up for money, hashish, goods, etc. Dozens of times a day a young man walks past me and whispers, "hashish," which is ...
