... we hadn’t wanted him. It
was getting dark by the time we got there and he took us to the wrong one.
Luckily the lady who answered showed us to the correct one. We were deep in the
narrow lanes of the medina and it was exciting but I was exhausted. We finally
got there and plopped our stuff down. The riad was very pretty, unassuming on
the outside and then with a little courtyard inside and rooms situated around
it. Lots of cushions, lounging areas and a ...

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!

... reminds me of India and all the experiences i had there that live on in my mind but it is an odd amalgamation of the western and traditional. The main square is a magical place where all is alive by night and oh so chilled and interesting in the day.

Then we called a cab – not the Mercedes cabs that charge more but the sand-brown beaters. We were back at the riad in 5 minutes for 5 Durhams. Time for a gingerly entry into a cold plunge-pool.

After a very stiff gin & tonic (now I was feeling better ...

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.

... with the best freshly squeezed orange ever! We headed out - not really knowing where we were going, as we had a plan but once we started walking we didn't want to pull out our map! Though to be fair we looked like tourists, it would be very hard not to when all the ladies are in their full Berkers and everyone is a much darker colour than we were! We hadn't gone for more than 5 minutes when we were approached by a girl asking if we spoke English and ...

... were directed on where to go - this again leads us to the path of lost where again we are picked up by a teacher this time who speaks perfect English takes us through the Mosque points out some amazing things that we would have missed for sure - something of interest was the public showers where men and women shower once a week 15 Durhams for women and 12 Durhams for men as they take less in the shower. The man started telling us not to worry about ...
