Apathotel Igoudar Agadir

... all wanting to live in that place, that spot where joy lives and shines. Where we can be who we really are in this spiral of life.


Overall I didn't find the weather to be that hot on the coast, but we had one spell of about a week where it was unbearable. This is something I wrote in my journal:

"It's August now and the winds from the Sahara have come. They don't ask ...

... to surf!  I'm completely in love with this new passion.  I relate it a lot to yoga:  here I am, asking Mother Ocean if I may join with with her and become the wave.  I'm quite addicted now to heading out to the water to play.  I'm improving which pleases me; I haven't tried to learn a new sport in awhile to get better at.  I'm hungry for it, the joy of standing up and floating; I can say there's nothing like ...

... in the lush Palm Bay and enjoy the sun, because it's always there to light up your day! The opportunities for play during your day are plentiful, including a variety of water sports! There's also a golf course and tennis court. If you're more into relaxing than getting active, or need to wind down after too much activity, sip a rejuvenating beverage in one of the six bars inside ...

... way I spent this day. Of course, I swam a lot... The Ocean is such a paradise... When you enter the water, it feels very cold, but as you enter farther, you got used to it and it feels normal. The Waves! They are really big, it's so fun to greet them with your body... Cool water brings a new kind of freshness to you... And then, when you go to the beach, the water becomes more and more warm, and closer to the beach it ...

... Green. Has the only real SPA in all Agadir. Has grand conference rooms. Has lots of restaurants, cafe's, Facilities. Really Impressed. Rooms are ok though, nothing unusual, just good. Here we stayed for a free lunch, which was great, Yummy=)))

Lunch is over, time to work again.

Adrar Agadir 3* - Awful pool, rooms are good.

Argana 4* - Pool is simple, rooms are okay. But the view from the window is awful. Though the hotel ...

... building with elevators and apartments in the outer circle of it. Inside the building is a relax zone, with a terrace, restaurants, massage&spa rooms and boutiques. Good hotel, good rooms:)
The last we visited Iberostar Agadir Founty beach 4*. Good hotel, though territory is not enough green... But many place for relaxing, good pool. Great ocenview rooms!

  Finally, we returned to the hotel and the evening was spent beside and IN the pool=)

It had snowed quite a bit overnight, just not enough to make a mess out of the city, which I greatly appreciated for going to the airport again. 11 days in Germany, enough to do my laundry, recharge my batteries and swap guidebooks. I was happy to escape all those Christmas songs that were now playing non-stop on the radio. Three hours and twenty minutes flying time and I found myself in Agadir ...

... decent sized waves off the popular Anchor Point. It was a super chilled out week but we were all stoked to be surfing twice a day and chilling in between. We managed to get Lenny hooked on the Tagines at the greatest restaurant in the world, Cafe Labar. The day before heading North in the search for other spots to surf we ventured into Agadir to book the ticket. When we got out of the cab the old grumpy ...

... right up and see what the tanners were doing, how and where they dye the skins although you did have to be careful not to get splashed as skins were getting whacked about everywhere. We saw how they softened the underside of the skins - they were hanging up all over the place (camel skins too) - grose stuff everywhere -- it was fascinating! We were directed into the shop but I'd already done my leather shopping in Fes so ...

... good. We tried the phone contacts on the 1997 Michelin green guide, but as usual they were out of date. Still, I finally got accurate info by talking to an helpful lady who answered at one of these numbers. So we went back 25kms from Agadir to a good camping, were we found a spanish couple from Pais Vasco we had seen ont he road. They own a very well equipped Man truck. We decided to keep in touch. Le réveil fut difficile ce matin et nous avons ...
