152, Derb Sidi M'Barek, Sidi Mimoun Marrakech, Morocco, 212-65-07-09-00-
So we are off to Africa. I can't believe we are going. Steve checked a book out from the library so we could do some research. Based on the book I had imagined that Marrakech would be like Tijuana, Mexico. A poor place with a lot of haggling and begging. So I hoped I had the mindset to venture into this incredibly foreign place. We had to wake at an ungodly hour to head to the airport. We were flying Easyjet out of Gatwick. Easy enough. Gatwick is the closest airport besides Kent which flies ...

... late the first day. A painstakingly long delay
before we even got to the Taxi, enormous Immigration and Customs queues, as
well as Nick exacerbating the delay by stopping every 5 metres to take photos.
The taxi driver patiently waited for us, and I impatiently paced to and fro.
We finally
arrived in the Medina, and were met by a local guy and his cart. He took our bags
before I even had a chance to say no, and we were following him through the
maze to ...
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!

... reminds me of India and all the experiences i had there that live on in my mind but it is an odd amalgamation of the western and traditional. The main square is a magical place where all is alive by night and oh so chilled and interesting in the day.
We did a couple of days exploration of all it had to offer and then onwards AND upwards...

... at me through the window and dropped the F-bomb and a Trudeau salute. Connected. But he was an uninvited nuisance and got told so in the language he best speaks: money.
Back at our Riad Dar Charkia, we got to our room on the 2nd floor just long enough to get into our trunks and head for the cold pool. I asked Big Sharima, the principle female staff person (there are 5) for two beers with a smile (all the Muslims I ...
... throughout our stay and the scents changed by time of day and the location. In the morning hours the market is filled with the scent of fish and various meats being cut and sold within many small stalls. By the afternoon the air is filled with a mixture of spices, incense and leather. Needless to say if you want to buy your meat in the souks you need to be an early riser. We decided to ...
Marrakech, Morocco hanna.patterson... 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 ...

Marrakech, Marrakech, Morocco wendy_wanders... real estate than the ancient relics of the city. Oddly, the concubine's quarters looked quite similar to the madrasses we had seen in Fes with multi-story living quarters opening onto a square and elaborately crafted courtyard. When we had taken about as many pictures as we could muster, Cori checked the guidebook and confirmed our suspicion; the concubine's quarter was actually a standard part of the museum tour and was included with the tickets we had purchased. Naturally, we ...
