Boulevard Mohamed V Essaouira, Morocco, 212-24-479900
... about, I stumbled upon a very tres, tres chic hotel with wifi in the lobby! Thus, with my trusty little iPod I was able to swiftly log in here and post an entry. Easily entered the date 'n place, but... when I got to the interface for pecking the "Story" - alas for some strange reason my iPod (actually I believe it was a travelpod glitch) wouldn't bring up the keyboard so I couldn't type anywhere ...
Essaouira, Morocco globalgirl... horse and canter wild and free along the beach like that – awesome!!
We get dropped off back in town and go to meet Yassir – he’s coming for lunch with us. The fishermen get back in around this time with their daily catch – some of which is sold in a handful of fish restaurants down by the harbour. We have other plans, we go to the local fish market which is in the centre of the Medina where locals purchase their fish and then take it to a small ...
... conversation and answer questions about England. Yassir invites us to join him at the restaurant he works at this evening and we agree and say we’ll see him later. We wander off to visit another of Alex’s friends who is also extremely welcoming and hospitable – more mint tea flowing – I really am getting addicted to this stuff. Again we chat about life and Alex recounts various funny tales about previous visits and incidents with ...
Essaouira, Morocco travelmonster... A popular old Russian song by Alla Pugachova, the light suddenly went down low for a couple of seconds and the show was over... It looked like synthesizer of a band member was burnt by electricity failure=( It was so pity...
So, as far as we ended our drinks, we went back through the night city, which looked wonderful at night... Then again we spent some time by the pool with some wine=)
... br>the family or couple on vacation. Offering a host of amenties, including wifi, DVD players, spa
and massage services, a restaurant and club style bar, and a roof top pool that gives you
access to a view of the city you couldn't find elsewhere. Take a stroll through the narrow streets
of the medina and visit the many soukses (market places) that fill every corner of them.
Hear the ...
... lovely room in Moroccan style. I felt like I'd never want to leave again. My first stop was Il Mare. A restaurant right behind the city walls but high enough to look over them. Ten days before Christmas, I was sitting outside on the roof terrace, enjoying a good lunch with a view of the ocean. It was blue skies all over and just pleasant. Was it really 3 days since I was walking through the snow...
Essaouira, Morocco sabaidiiRise and shine its time to leave Marrakech. Up, packed and out of campground by 8am. Headed straight to supermarket for cook group shop and supply refill for those who needed it, unfortunately shop didn't open till 9 so we sat around the carpark for 40 min. In the fear of being meatless we invested in some cans of what we call pringle chicken... basically a pringle container stuffed with processed meat... mmmmm delicious. The ...
Essaouira, Morocco oliveramber... stuff like rugs and blankets, lanterns, fake sunnies, spices, artwork, happy pants (those thai fisherman baggy pants), woven baskets and leathergoods. Most shops do not have fixed prices, and the Moroccans love to rip you off so you generally just give them some terribly low price and work up from there, usually which involves walking away a couple of times till they chase you out and make a better offer. Its fun and entertaining but by the end of the ...
Essaouira, Morocco lovin_apples... that stuff off my head. The final part was a "massage". I put that in quotations because one would expect a massage to be relaxing, and I do believe that for those who had the young woman, it was. But I had Moroccan version of Big Bertha, and oh my god did it hurt. My shins have never had shin spints from being massaged - usually you massage them to treat shin splints. Nope, she grabbed my foot and started going at my ankle with my toes digging into her large ...
Essaouira, Morocco fearcuairt... frightened chameleon into Cam's hand...he quite likes critters like that, however I refused to hold it and not much later i made a little man nearlywet his pants laughing as I jumped a metre in the air when he waggled a wooden snake at me...it really looked real! Anyway, after all the fun and games at the souks we visited the museum which was housed in a beautiful building and had a really pretty fountain in the middle with lots of couches around to relax in so we had a ...
