Had an ok nights sleep on our bunk bed feel like I am about seven again! Woke up to an amazing breakfast of juice, pancakes, fresh bread, jams and local breads with coffee it was so tasty. Mohammad gave us the info about how to get to the train station. So got ready and went to get a small taxi to the station to get our tickets for Sunday to go to Fez the taxi driver told us it takes 7 hours ahhh perswaded Ian though to get first class as I read a book about ...

Got up at 4am and got to the airport ok in the taxi the hotel where we stayed is really half a mile away from the airport you can see the planes taking off and the taxi cost us 20 euro they know how to rip you off around here. I am excited about the change of scenery and also about going somewhere that is hot I cant wait to get my summer clothes back on again! I hate it on aeroplanes though when people in front of you put the seats down, I know that you can but there is such a ...

... we avoided the lively Djemaa El-Fna and most of the souqs, instead focusing on a few specific sites to tour. Since many sites are closed over the long lunch hour, we first had a nice lunch overlooking the metalworkers' square, which was surrounded by high, mud-brick buildings. Several of the posts atop these surrounding buildings had huge storks’ nests on them, and the square seemed to be a gathering place for storks! I never did figure ...

Interestingly, during our lunch, a funeral procession passed by &#8211; 7-8 men carrying a rough wood platform raised high above their heads, with a body on top, covered with blankets. I had only ever seen that on TV.<br><br>[Fourth side note (sorry, I lied above): cats. There are kitty cats (or shall I say, &#8220;kitty witties&#8221;?) everywhere in Morocco &#8211; on the streets, in the plazas, even hanging out in ...

Met a fine fellow from Wales as a hopped off the bus in Marrakech (from Essouria). He was looking for an economical riad to stay and I knew just the place - the riad I'd dumped my rugs at just days prior.<br><br> After settling in, I invited him to tag along w/ me to grab a geocache at Menara Gardens. LOL ...

There is too much to say and too many pictures to upload. I prefer the quiet of the desert but if you want lots of things to see and do Marrakech is the place. Please visit the website I developed to help Zaid with his tour guide buisness there you will find different kinds of tours and sites and attractions throughout Morocco ...

... over the High Atlas mountains - they were so high and the road was very narrow and steep. Luckily, Khalid was a good driver. We saw one accident where an army truck hit a car, but they were okay. Lots of the villages looked like they were built right into the mountains. We saw lots of donkeys, sheep, and goats along the way. We we got to Marrakech, we said goodbye to Khalid and Khalid, and went to Riad Anyela, where we are staying. It is a small ...

... place called Zen. As usual, Doc ordered us drinks and wine with dinner. With a little probing, he proceeded to tell us about working at the Olympics, working for the Italian mafia, and all the drama that goes on at the Fondouk. It was, of course, all of the stories about our Moroccan coworkers that really got our minds going. There is so much drama and fighting that goes on behind closed doors, that most of the wonderful workers that we know on a day to ...
