Marrakech Magic

Our tour only touched the surface of sites available to visit in Marrakesh, the third largest city in Morocco after Casablanca and Rabat, and definitely the most exotic of these 3 destinations. It is a popular tourist destination, being the gateway to the High Atlas Mountains and the desert, as well as the meeting and marketplace of African, Berber and Arab Morocco. Like the other imperial cities, it is surrounded by city walls, which are red walls of dried mud. Our morning tour took us to th...

Marrekesh

Marrakesh is the nomad capital of the south full of medieval myths and mystery, vibrant and alive and even a bit daunting when you have just spent the night on a train(the Marrakesh express!!). Quite a pleasant train trip really though and the first time we have had a sleeper. Katherine, from our previous trip, and ourselves got a set of rooms together in a beautiful Riad which is a building (usually previously a house or palace) with a central courtyard that all rooms look out onto. We spent...

Exactly what you'd think it'd be like

... had
seen quite a lot of greenery but later when asking people they said it had rained
a lot for this time of year but hadn’t really thought things were THAT green.
Later I thought what we probably saw were olive trees and cactuses, which are
abundant but don’t need a heap of water. Case solved, mission complete.

We went to meet
the sign with our riad’s name on it, and the man holding the sign, and got a
lift to our accommodation. Very ...

THE ONLY WAY IS UUUUUUUUUUUP BABY....

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!

Marrakesh sidetrip was a great decision!

... Yesterday (and today) were 47C degree days; even the locals complained.

The best time to sightsee is in the morning when it’s coolest. We had another wonderful breakfast beside the cold pool this morning at 9am – lots of small dishes and breads, some hot, some cold. The fresh-squeezed orange juice is to die for, as is the big carafe of French press coffee.

Our destination was the large Jardins ...

Our last day of pain in Marrakesh

... ask the locals that they will make us pay them for their information, we figure that we will just walk the hour to the train station and hope it just doesn't rain like it did yesterday. We have been trying to see the real Morocco by getting out of the city. We hired a guide who took us for a day trip to the valleys around the Atlas mountains (900DH). It is a bit of a hike through winding mountain roads with a shear drop down one side. In most countries this would be a ...

A breve descrição desta maravilhosa viagem.

Um grupo de desconhecidos encontram-se na Portela as 7.00 da manhã de
25 de Abril, apresentam-se e aqui nasce uma amizade. Uma amizade que
foi ficando muito coesa durante esses curtos 8 dias de aventura que
passamos. Momentos difíceis. Momentos divertidos, muitos momentos muito
divertidos, alias a maior parte deles.
Um pais com uma cor fantástica, com uma cultura estranha, mas muito viva e marcada, resumindo um pais que me fascinou.

First impressions

... selling escargot in their shells flavoured with cumin. The guys selling roasted goat heads (price on application), the brochette folks and the snake men (watching not eating). It is a marvelous riot of grill smoke, confusion and imminent food poisoning. We started with the sausage men. You sit on long benches in the open air with a paper sheet as your plate and bread roll and then you get a small platter of mini sausages grilled and ...

"Hey, my food still has a face!"

... to know any better. Unfortunately, we got the impression that Moroccans try to squeeze every dollar (or Dirham) they can from tourists - case in point, when paying for our internet use, the guy in charge did not want to give us our 1DH (12 cents) in change, even though we could clearly see that he had it!!! We wouldn't leave even though we were the last ones in there, so after a few moments of awkward silence and stares, the guy gave in ...
