Hotel Les Matins Bleus Essaouira

Got up to another really tasty breakfast had a terrible nights sleep as some spanish girls that were staying in our Riad got up with the call to prayer at 5am and they were going off on a trip to the desert! You can go on a camel to the desert and stay overnight sleeping in a traditional tent and eating traditional food something that we would have done had we had more time.<br><br>We decided to go for a little walk around and try and buy ...

... us on. Eventually dismounting at Ground Zero (a decidedly g-forsaken tumble of thorny scrub that no Lonely Planet guidebook would dare to include among the "Gottasees in Morocco") Mohammad gallantly (albeit still dubiously) helped hunt amid the parched thicket til... we finally found the geoprize (an overturned rusty can concealing a trinket-filled tub of Tupperware) - yippeee!<br><br>Other Essaouria highlights:<br><br ...

I&#8217;d always had this romantic notion of riding a horse along a deserted beach with the wind blowing through my hair &#8211; well it sure was windy, but it wasn&#8217;t quite as romantic in reality due to having an extremely sore bum!! I won&#8217;t sit down for a week I reckon!! Yep, another dream was realised today.<br><br>At breakfast we mentioned to the owner of the riad we are staying in that we wanted to go horse riding &#8211; he says that he has a friend who could ...

... hours later we arrive in Essouria and go and find the riad. The riad is, once again, quite beautiful and the owner was extremely friendly &#8211; he didn&#8217;t have the rooms we booked though and offered us a 3 person room instead &#8211; this was okay with all of us, so we dropped our bags and went to investigate.<br><br>Lunch was high on the agenda, so we wander round to find somewhere to eat. We find a fantastic place to eat &#8211; everything was ...

... covered with goats eating it. So strange show=) Look it;)<br><br>We had a lot of day free ahead of us so after a little dinner at the hotel I decided to go to our former hotel, Agadir Beach Club with newly found friends=) We sat here listening by beautiful singer, she was performing great, known by everyone, oldies songs, I talked with some french pair sitting next to us=) And when she was ...

... The road to Essaouira is partly along the coast where some huge waves attract surfers, but at 17 degrees water temperature at this time of the year, it appears somewhat pale compared to Hawaii. So I guess they come here if Daddy's cheque didn't arrive in time for the flight to Honolulu. Essaouira is a town with a great atmosphere. It is right next to the coast, a walled city that looks unchanged ...

we went on a one day excursion to Essaouira, a picturesque town on the seaside, or shall I say ocean side... there also is an old part of the town, medina, with all sorts of tiny shops and cafes. and if you're tired of shopping you can always go and relax on the beach... Essaouira is one of the best spots fo surfers in Morocco.

... re feeling weak then you've already lost the battle to keep the bike upright. One thing that the morning has made crystal clear is that any boyhood fantasies we might have entertained of doing the Paris-Dakar one day are pure tosh! 50 km/hour has been bloody tough going and we've lost it a few times already...these guys do it for 10 days flat out at 150 km/hour. Super Human Freaks need only apply. Hassan offers to ride Pierpaolo's bike for him for a while, and we figure this is ...

... exception is when you are yourself being killed, and then it is permitted to kill. Time passes quickly, and we are soon on a bluff overlooking the beautiful, white city on the ocean. After a couple of photo stops, we plunge into the old city. It is amazing how broad the avenues are, and how straight. Not at all like the wandering lanes of the medinas we have visited up to this time. We clamber around on the fortress wall with cannons facing out to sea. Next is a visit to the ...
