Marhaba 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 ...

... I had when I was working with Surf Maroc, but I did even in the small town of Taghazout. The food, the people, the culture...it was all there for me immerse in. Yet it was good to experience it in a new way on the road, and to appreciate all I was given!<br> <br><br> On August 20th I left magical Morocco for London, to visit with my dear friend Kim and her lovely husband, Nick. I also got ...

... br>I haven't seen too much of Morocco yet since I'm working here, but it's got a magical energy to it. The feel of being in Africa, the dry desert land and mountains set against this wild and undeveloped coastline. Yet at the same time, I feel rather closed up here being a woman in a Muslim land. Covering when I go out, looking down to avoid the eyes of men; I feel as if I'm hiding my womanhood. Yet it's ...

... hotel Sofitel Agadir . They are all so unique; you'll want to visit each one during your stay! In addition to the hotel's six bars, there are four luxurious restaurants to choose from on the hotel premises. Treat your mouth to the tantalizing flavors of authentic Moroccan cuisine and don't forget to catch breakfast - it's included in your room price so you can fuel up for your day ...

After a long sleep, I woke up fresh as a newborn=)<br><br>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 ...

... bridges. Almost all territory is covered with a beautiful garden with different things like car, bench and boots made of bushes (see photos). Great hotel =).<br><br>The last was Le Tivoli 4* - Good hotel. Simple, But very green, club-type, the roads are warming from the inside, and the rooms are pretty, in a colonial style=)<br><br>Then we got to the hotel which gave us rooms to live. Kenzi Europa 4*. Awful! Two high living buildings by the sides ...

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 ...

... Residence. At 10 bucks a day it seemed like a goer. We haggled with Hazaa, the shonky wheeler and dealer owner, and moved in gleefully. From the top terrace we could see all the way to Anchor Point (The best wav in Morocco, one of at least) and it apperaed to be flat as a tac. There were another 3 point breaks in sight which also had nothing to offer. Nonetheless we could see the amazing potential this small stretch of coast offered and ...

... with veggies and it was so so goooood (the also do things like stirfrys and chilli con carnes etc) -- with our wine we proceeded to get a little drunk! After Jo, Sophia and I made our way to a local hostel to catch up with a friend of Jo's. We had a few more drinks, smoke and chilled until about 12.30 when we thought we would call it a night. Jo's friend walked us back to our hotel and we crashed just after 1am... great day!

... toward these holy centers, but some folks just stop what they are doing and pray on the spot. The calls come numerous times during the day but we haven't figured out the pattern or times so we continue to be surprised when we hear it. Each village has a mosque, usually quite simple, but always with a tower and loudspeakers. Casablanca's was huge and elaborate, I guess befitting such a large and important city. Consistent with a third world country is ...
