Mabrouk Agadir

We hit the big city of Agadir, it's a bit of a big hotel kinda of place. Big, sandy, crescent shaped beach which nobody was using at the time we were there. Eddie found a great room at a fantastic price, pool, restaurant, balcony all for 38 dollars a night. We found the towna bit quite, for example ...

... the hills, the simple fishing village of Taghazout, Moroccan families playing on the beach, a camel strolling by...and I would think, "Wow, this is my life. Here I am and I'm so lucky. Thank you for all of this." One evening I was driving back from the beach and the full moon was a gigantic yellow ball hanging over the sea; it was one of the most beautiful sites I've ever seen and I ...

... The views are amazing and breathtaking. Photo worthy shots of the hotel's magnificent garden, the ocean, and the extravagant pool that guests enjoy during their stay at Sofitel Agadir are right outside your window. This Moroccan slice of heaven is just far enough away to enjoy a peaceful stay and only the sounds of the ocean waves crashing will fall upon your ears. Walk along the ...

After a long sleep, I woke up fresh as a newborn=)

This day was a day when I decided to finally buy unbought souvenirs and presents. The first thing in my plans was a Confiserie where I could bought great morroccan pastry as a present=) It's Incredible... We walked the streets of Agadir to get to the La Fontaine Place where the Patiserie was situated... The city lives a very interesting life, non-familiar to us ...

That is a day full of work so we got up early and at 9 o'clock were already leaving for our first visit.

Ramada Almohades 4* - Not bad... Tidy, small and green... Also old, and it really looks rather old... But not a bad choice all in all=)

Sofitel Agadir 5* - Veeeery good hotel, great place, beach under the window, grandiose pool, lots of services, cooool=) But every day staying in this hotel should be payed $100 as a deposite (it ...

After "linner" (late lunch, early dinner - early for Morocco time, that is), our Rotarian "Rafi" who has been with us since leaving Casa, took a walk with Katie and I (Sunday night). They have a boardwalk with shops and restaurants along the beach, and tons of people were out strolling, eating and people watching. We took pictures of the words on the old part of the city, that say "God, Country, King." Agadir was ...

It had snowed quite a bit overnight, just not enough to make a mess out of the city, which I greatly appreciated for going to the airport again. 11 days in Germany, enough to do my laundry, recharge my batteries and swap guidebooks. I was happy to escape all those Christmas songs that were now playing non-stop on the radio. Three hours and twenty minutes flying time and I found myself in Agadir ...

After making it back to our familiar base of Tagazhout Mitch and I spent a day hunting for an apartment. We found a great deal and moved in the morning that Leon intended to arrive. Later that day whilst having lunch Proudy and I spotted Lenny being led through town by an old friend of ours. We called him over and caught up on the past 9 months over lunch. We moved Lenny into the pad and started shopping ...

... breakfast and went back to room to collect suitcase and travel bag and left them in the lobby. I was just settling my credit card bill at the desk when a very polite man appeared who shook my hand, I hadn't a clue who he was until the desk clerk identified him as our driver. I went down to the restaurant and had a chat with J & K, they then went to get there belongings as they also were going back to England. Said goodbye to the restaurant staff and desk clerk and off ...

... get to Spain. We hope to fly out of Spain to London on the seventh. It's been so nice hearing from everyone and we enjoy your emails. The only thing getting tiresome is the constant clothes washing. JoAnn bought some Moroccon clothes today to break up the monotony of wearing the same stuff. As for me, wearing the same old thing works just fine. Write if you have questions or comments. Sometimes we feel a world away. Not sad, just distant. Take Care. Love, Don and Joann
