The city is all
built from the same red mud so it has a gorgeous rosy glow and we loved it
straight away. It was very dusty and dry, lots of people about, and very clean.
We went into the old town, through thick outer walls and were dropped as close
as we could get to our riad with the car. Then we were told a guy would take us
further, and he put our bags on a trolley. Too quick and then we were off,
knowing by the end he would ask for a tip even ...

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!

... way out. He did; we went; so did he, always a discreet distance off my left front quarter panel. I tested him once by overtaking a parked cart on the right but, sure enough, I noticed he scooted around the cart and took up position again. We got to a street with vehicles and soon spotted a cab. It didn’t take long for his hand to come out and say, “Money”. If you were nuts enough to ask how much, they ...

Hanna, me, and 3 other Dutch women signed up for the class which included Gemma taking us into the souks to buy all of the ingredients for our class (spices, vegetables, preserved lemons, even sardines). After we had negotiated the prices and gathered all of our goods we headed to Gemma's house which ...

... 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?

... relaxed. Then, in the early hours of the morning we were due to leave, we received a phone call to say our beloved cat, Mazzie, had passed away. We were devastated. When the sun rose, we packed and made long, hard journey back down the mountainside to the bus station, doing our best to avoid the many stray cats that popped their heads through windows and doorways. It broke our hearts. The following few days are a bit of a ...

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.
