L'Hippocampe Oualidia

We arrived into Oualidia late afternoon and parked near the beach amongst several other campers. Tomorrow was looking promising for a surf!

2nd Oualidia

It was a gorgeous sun rise this morning and we enjoyed the last of it on the rocks between the beach and the lagoon. The fishing boats were all on their way in and soon locals ...

In a desperate search for waves we headed further south to Oulidida where they was meant to be a surf camp that had waves at its door step. We arrived as the sunset was nearing. We parked in another carpark, with guardian, by a beautiful lagoon which emptied into the ocean between 2 headlands and an island in between. The openings to the ocean w...

I am so grateful for this beautiful day I had today, as no harm came my way, I lacked nothing, and I was able to humbly see myself in many of the beings I met today. The practice of awareness, of being present in many moments throughout the day, is very gratifying to me. I notice how relaxing into acceptance in whatever situation I enter, I allo...

Senor Ferrari: Might as well be frank, monsieur. It would take a miracle to get you out of Casablanca, and the Germans have outlawed miracles. Wendy: I have ways of working around these Germans, monsieur. Leave it to me. We left Casa via CMT bus for the trip to Oualidia, where, with a population of around 4000, there is little to do except relax...

We left Essaouira and drove north along the coast to Oualidia, passing fields being ploughed by donkeys and children with school bags, walking along the roadside in the middle of nowhere. They would wave as we passed and we were always unsure whether they were trying to stop us to sell something, or whether they were just curious and friendly. A...

Ahhhh. El Jadida was the saving grace of the trip. Since we couldn't do the ever-popular camel trek, a few days on a beach was in order. We follow the travel gods and their signs, and they clearly were telling us to get the hell out of Ouerzazate, or we would surely die. We found a somewhat decent hotel when we arrived. That was after a few Km h...

Clearly the number one highlight of my trip to Morocco has been getting a local Hammam. Probably one of the most satisfying activities this year. A Hammam is a local concoction similar to Turkish baths. I shared this experience with Thomas who was as equally imressed as I was. The Hammam starts with stripping down to your underwear. You go throu...

We awoke at 6.30am in readiness for our 4 hour trek up the mountain to the Holy Rock. The trek was made increasingly difficult by the sand storm rolling down the hillside. Nevertheless, all of this trekking is helping me with my Inca preparation. It was also made difficult by the donkeys, thin trails and loads of tourists. It was stunning scener...

12 de Mayo: Escribimos hoy desde una ciudad sobre la costa en Marruecos, un lugar muy lindo llamado Essoueira, si,con las 5 vocales en su nombre! Tomamos un bus esta maniana desde Marrakech luego de habernos tomado el dia de ayer para recorrer la ciudad en bus, Marrakech termino por parecernos muy linda, con sus plazas y jardines bien cuidados y...
