Le Relais du Lac Marrakech

Confirming my ever-strong belief in fate and allworking out eventually, we ended up in Morocco right on time for the 2009 Marrakech Film Festival! As film fanatics, we hot-well, actually cold-footed it-from freezing cold Casa to Marrakech making it just in time for films galore...

Getting back to the Western world is weird after adventures in African countries like Mali and Senegal as it seems so different yet only a drive-or even briefer flight ...

... jda efter ett besök på torget där vi blev inkastade i Borats lilla hörn och avnjöt grillspett, grönsaker, och de klassiska pitabröd som verkar vara den enda brödsort de har här. På torget kan man även äta sniglar som säljs i små stånd och dricka nypressad apelsinjuice eller te och titta på magdans, ormtjusare, gubbar som går runt och spelar på ett litet instrument och snurrar med tofsen på sin hatt m.m. Här verkar det ok ...

... but if you don’t care then African Trails will do just fine. In all honesty our truck doesn’t look nearly as nice as nice as others on the road but it has so much more personality and I don’t feel deprived of anything.

The Overlanding Experience

This is not your average air-conditioned tour, this is an overlanding tour. A tour implies a guide giving you direction and informing you on the sights and sounds of the areas you ...

... monkeys doing twirls in their petty coats. This city caters to the tourist. But the real show doesn’t start till dusk when the night market begins. The main square, which lies almost empty in the day, is filled with roll out restaurants, souvenir shops and everything else you could possible imagine. It is truly a sight to behold. The colors are mesmerizing as you walk down the aisles of the Medina where shop keepers try to entice you into buying anything from leathers to ...

I write this to you with the remnants of henna on my hand. My trip to Morocco was my last grand adventure during my time abroad before returning home, and it was a perfect trip to end with!

On Wednesday, November 25 I looked at my Outdoor Programs CamelBak in awe that everything I needed for my first time to Africa fit in it. But it did! I got the Aerobus to the airport way too early and ended up waiting awhile, but it was a good amount of time to get my head around the idea that I ...

I got to Marrakesh around 2pm. Unfortunately I missed my bus to Essocria so I decided to stay overnight in Marrakesh and visit more of this city before heading out back to Madrid in the morning.

... shoe. We find the square more interesting later in the night when the tourists have gone to bed and the locals are out eating and chatting, this gives a more authentic Moroccan feel to the city. We have seen lots of agro and near fights between men in the streets. It seems to be a part of the culture and most of it is for show. The square is loud although we can't hear noise from our room. The sounds of horses hooves, snake charmer horns, motorbikes, cars ...

... inseperable for the rest of the day, laughing about our experiences and sharing stories, while exploring the city and going to visit two of the palaces that this city is known for. Marrakesh is considered an imperial city, as is fes, due to its history and population. Every city in Morocco has a medina, or old section that is encircled by a tall wall. The old section usually contains a main square, the sooks (markets), a old jewish section, an arab section ...
