... some contemporary stuff that was
on sale. Some of the contemporary paintings were of Asian images which was
interesting. Made me get excited about getting back to Thailand soon!

The building
itself was beautiful and had a big cool courtyard with a water feature. But
again tourists were milling like there was no tomorrow.

On to the next
sight which was part of a three ticket showdown that included the museum and
something else which we weren ...

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!

After immense Irish experiences and an interesting and equally incredible adventure in Italy i arrived in Morocco having met both big brother Jage and eventually Stewart in Milan...

We made our way to the mad, mixed and amazing Marrakech with a few friends we found along the way and ended up in the midst of Ramadan at a funky guesthouse hidden away in the ...

... carrying everything from bags to gutted goats. Our driver liked to drive with the hood ornament right over the middle of the road which, although a 2-lane road each way was, in fact, as many vehicles as could fit across all lanes and ½ way into the on-coming lanes at any given time. Clearly, bribes not withstanding, it was easy to get a driver’s license in Marrakesh. We park just out of the flow and follow our driver ...

... to wander even at midday…but we wished we’d packed a
compass. At times the souks seem as complicated and maze-like as the
intricate stone carvings, and this can definitely set off a hot sweat
as you attempt to read a map and dodge the children offering to take
you the “right” way for a tip. However, after gaining some confidence
(and a bottle of water) we were ready to squeeze the souks for all they
were ...

... ask if you may take a picture, the answer is almost certainly no. If you get a yes, it is because you've asked if they'd mind. If you ask why, they will tell you, it is against their religion. This is hard to argue against. However, one thing would easily change everything: Lots of people will ask for money if you want to take a picture. Maybe I just misunderstood, did they say it's the prophet or the profit that matters?

... and saw the beautiful waterfalls - it was so peaceful up there - so worth it! While we were up there we made friends with the other people in our group - the Norweigan men - Morton and Steiner and our French friend, Aurelis. The Norweigan men spoke to us in English - Aurelis had a little bit more difficulty - but we did it - we were all talking and enjoying the scenery! Ahh, time to go down! I needed a drink - the guide ...

Toujbkal o segundo monte mais alto de Africa 4.167 mt.
Ait Benhaddou
um Kashbah fabuloso, bem tratado dentro das suas possibilidades, mais
uma vez labiríntico. Com uma cor ao final do dia quente, muito quente,
uma terracota quase vermelha. Aqui comprei a minha recordação da viagem
o tapete. Aqui foram gravados filmes como "A Jóia do Nilo", "Lawrence
da Arábia", "Jesus de Nazaré".

Hi Everyone, My 14 day, 3110km road trip in a rental car ended successfully this morning - this is my first opportunity to touch base with you since my last message six days ago. Rather than a long story like my last travelogue, I thought I would write some small "tales from the trails," observations and amusing incidents that makes one smile! Exploring the Moon Gosh it seems so long ago now. Exactly two weeks ago I set off south east from Marrakech ...
