Jnan El Harti Marrakech

... After a stressful spell though the buzz of Marrakech makes me appreciate all we have experienced and everything us Westerners have even more. Morocco is more amazing than i remembered with its incredible colours, culture and continuous backdrop of distant mountain ranges.

Reality beckons as we are back by Chrimbo but for now we are losing ourselves in all sorts of surreal and out-standing cinema in the sunny but still cold capital...

... ta med båda händerna men jag som är vänsterhänt måste nog börja öva på att inte använda ”bajshanden” vid måltider tillsammans med andra (en metod man kanske kan använda om man är väldigt hungrig nån gång och vill ha all mat för sig själv).

Idag letade vi oss utanför murarna till nya delen av staden. Där fanns både Zara, Pizza Hut och traditionella tofflor, dock inga som Astrid ville ha ...

... through. This is not your average tour. An overlanding tour is you plus twenty or more of your new closest friends living off an overlanding truck, a huge truck with a passenger compartment with flaps as windows and well worn seats all facing inward. Cooking gear and truck stuff goes in the undercarriage compartments while our stuff, tents and food go in compartments found under the seats and floors of the cab. Essentially you are hauled from place to ...

... oils. I actually was subject to the henna con. They say "free" “Free” and you try to figure out how to politely say no thank you but before you know it you are being drawn on in Henna, badly drawn on, and bartering the price that was supposed to be free. My hand looks retarded by the way. Well I won’t fall for it a second time, I hope.

I highly recommend Marrakech for anyone thinking of going to Morocco but beware of cute henna ladies with freckles.

... speaks through the little smiles, the sighs of contentment after a good meal, the love you can have for children you just met. Listen, and He will speak-look and He will show Himself to you in the most astounding way! Knock, and the door shall be opened. This is the beauty of the Lord that I saw under the Moroccan sun, and it is a beauty and truth that is all across this globe.

I couldn't stop smiling as I boarded the plane to go back to Barcelona. A friend of mine asked where my ...

[First side note: French. While most people in Morocco speak Berber or Arabic, most also speak French, as Morocco is a former French protectorate. I am squeaking by with my Span-French combo language, which I find works about 1/3 to ½ of the time…]

[Second side note: traffic. Those taxi rides we took last night and today? And generally crossing the street anywhere, anytime? Taking ...

... opposite end is the main entrance to the souks, which are a delight to wander through. When you want to find your way out, you simply ask for directions to the square to find your way back. For our final night of our tour, we had a wonderful Moroccan meal at one of the nearby restaurants, complete with belly dancers. It ...

... learned how to cook a traditional Moroccan dish of lamb stew using a tajine. I have to say, like I always do, that Josh is a fantastic cook. The lamb was tender and juicy and the reduction sauce was phenomenal. We tried and succeeded (we think) at our first back-and-forth, wheeling and dealing purchase. We were able to lower is price over 50 percent, but somehow I still think we paid more than we should have. It is part of the experience, right? We ...
