Ramada Les Almohades Tangier

... our way and we<br>realised there was only one railway track &#8211; hello?! We are in FIELDS, there is<br>PLENTY of room to make another track!!!!!!! And Morocco was supposed to have<br>the best train system in Africa. Freaking hell. <br><br>So we hobbled<br>along and finally made it to Tangier. We were VERY excited about this, I think<br>we are drawn to places on the coast and we could smell the sea air. <br><br>We took a taxi<br>to a place a little further away but supposed to be good ...

... br>This morning we thought we would try the ATM again. This time not only was it not accepting my card, but it also had had an egg thrown at it and was covered in dried egg white. !! We couldn&#8217;t even buy breakfast, everything was still closed. We gave up again and checked out. The guy dealing with us at the desk kept giving everything back to Marty, even though it was all my stuff. I paid with my credit card and he gave it back to Marty ...

... hilly and windy the closer we got to the port. In fact the Rif Mountains opposite to Tarifa are a continuation of these Spanish hills. I guess at some distant time in the past the Pillars of Hercules were solid and in some fashion the ocean broke through to flood the Mediterranean valley. That would beat Moses and the Red Sea I'm picking. I include a picture of wind turbines from the hills. My sister has a strong association with wind turbines ...

... chests, and from what I can tell they just threw me in with this group. We were dragged on a "special walking tour" of the old town, which in reality meant being brought to certain designated shops and being pressured into buying something for a ridiculously high price. Our lunch was included, but when we arrived I was told to go and sit in the corner on my own because I didn't have a reservation. This suited me fine because ...

... até aonde ? », « Angola », « Eeeeehhhhhhh ?! », muitos risos e boa sorte. Despedi-me da Inês. Estava oficialmente sozinho. Comecei a marchar. Andei a seguir as placas que diziam Rabat até sair da cidade, caminhei, caminhei, caminhei, tentei meter o dedo de fora a pedir boleia, ninguém parou, continuei a andar, andei tipo 3h e quando estava a começar a ficar escuro apareceu um rapaz à pé, que me falou em arabe. Respondi em espanhol. Ele falou em ...

We arrive in Marrakech and head straight for the Hotel du Tresor in the medina. It has been reccommended to us by Lisa, an Australian woman who is a friend of a friend of Alison's, and who has been in Marrakech for a few weeks, staying at a clients' house (Lisa teaches yoga). The Hotel du Tresor is an oasis in noisy and exciting Marrakech - there is a small courtyard with a small lap pool, every bedroom has been beautifully and uniquely decorated, and breakfast is on the ...

... outside of Tetouan. I slept most of the way, but after finally reaching the hotel, I was up!! Upon arrival, we were greeted with this amazing tasting mint tea and like pastry cookies, we filled out a form to confirm our stay, and then headed straight to a large dining room for dinner. The hotel was very nice, nothing spectacular, but not bad at all!! Dinner was great as well, finally a full meal, with REAL food, and not just soup!!!! There was bread sitting ...

... tour. Arabic is the official language in Morocco but plenty of French, Spanish, English and other African dialects are also spoken. In school Moroccan kids are required to take French and Arabic with a choice of others for a required 3rd language. This has really aided Moroccan development since people are more capable of working in tourism and other service industries allowing more people to discover Morocco. Our next stop was a typical market in the Kazbah ...

... up and put it around him, and antagonized it a bit so that it's neck flared out. Then he got another harmless snake and we all had the chance to 'wear' it around our necks. Wilf took my photo again and I paid another Euro. The snake was about as thick as a recorder... it felt more like a piece of rope. Still some people were too scared. After this, we walked in the Medina (old section) and found our restaurant where we had a 4-course lunch included in the price. We only had to ...

... br>guides get commission off what we buy. The prices were still fairly<br><br>low, well, lower than what would be in the states--but you had to<br><br>haggle.... Oh the things I wanted to buy!!! Just my style, but I<br><br>couldn´t fit, nor afford most of it, so I settled for the smaller<br><br>things. I meant to go there to get some random gifts to bring home for<br><br>friends....sorry didn´t happen. All for me! :D ...
