... on the way out there was a mummy cat with her
babies jumping around, except for one sitting quietly in the middle of the
walkway. As tourists took photos I realised it was a sick kitten, probably
dying, but nothing could be done. I told someone about her but I later realised
he was a tour guide and probably had no interest in helping or at least moving
it out of the way. Should have found an official but seemed silly. So we left a
little sad and went back to ...

From the fun flats of Marrakech...we made our way to the High Atlas mountains for well...mountains of magnificent hiking and views.

Jebel Toubkal stands at 4200m above sea level and at that is the highest most point in northern Africa and also a bit of a mission! We made it up the mighty mountain in a few days and did some sleeping, sun burning and Scrabble in there as well. An absolutely incredible adventure!

Back down and all set to embark on a road trip to Fez!

After immense Irish experiences and an interesting and equally incredible adventure in Italy i arrived in Morocco having met both big brother Jage and eventually Stewart in Milan...

We made our way to the mad, mixed and amazing Marrakech with a few friends we found along the way and ended up in the midst of Ramadan at a funky guesthouse hidden away in the ...

... tonight to a recommended restaurant across town. Good but, unlike most places, way too much food – 'American’ oversized helpings.

Tomorrow is Monday and most museums close in Spain on Mondays so we’ll be sightseeing mostly. We have no specific plans to see anything with an organized tour…..we’ll just use a tourist information guide from the Tourist Bureau at the airport and poke about town.

... time to get some breakfast. On the way to breakfast we saw a Cyber Cafe, and since we needed rooms in Seville we decided to quickly book a room and head out. Not so fast! The expected 20 minute task took us 3 hours and an expensive phone call before we finally settled on a choice that wasn't necessarily what we wanted with the mediocre tripadvisor score but the bonus of triple room availability, but one thing we did know is we didn't want to finally ...

Marrakech is an incredible city. It has a huge walled city centre, the walls are 16 km long and still intact, and if you enter through one of the gates, the world is not like it used to be. People come dressed like in those movies about when Jesus was born, so I think it is a very adequate place to spend the week before Christmas. I wonder anyway how snow and Santa on a sledge came into the picture when the whole story ...

... mt, respira-se...umas vistas fabulosas, vimos o
Toujbkal o segundo monte mais alto de Africa 4.167 mt.
Ait Benhaddou
um Kashbah fabuloso, bem tratado dentro das suas possibilidades, mais
uma vez labiríntico. Com uma cor ao final do dia quente, muito quente,
uma terracota quase vermelha. Aqui comprei a minha recordação da viagem
o tapete. Aqui foram gravados filmes como "A Jóia do Nilo", "Lawrence
da Arábia", "Jesus de Nazaré".
Um rio com ...

... in public travel wallet, but I pretty much cleared out my 'ready money' wallet. At which point I decided to get out of the souks. I had bought: a little lamp, a scarf, 4 little mirrors, and a pair of shoes/slippers. Which puts my souvenir spending at about $45, including the plate from this morning. Very different from London. I was pretty happy that it really was safe for me to wander on my own-- plenty touristy-- and I had enough French to get along, and as ...

... up from a coil responding to a man with a turban and flute. A moment later, a fire ball spewed up from a man's mouth about 10 feet away. Suddenly, a woman covered head to toe in a light blue gauzy veil--all but her heavy kohl-lined eyes--had my hand, was looking me in the eye asking me in 3, 4, 5 languages where I was from and henna painting my hand at the same time. The henna was cold--and itchy. But I was fascinated--she put the design on each finger joint, the top ...
