Residence Al Qantara 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 ...

... and left to have your own adventure. Side trips can be taken but they aren’t always organized by the driver. The road conditions vary from paved, dirt, mud, and everything in the middle. Sometimes you wonder how it is physically possible to make it through the narrow passengers that our driver navigates or the streets full of people and parked cars. It puts Austin Powers to shame. But there is really no other way to see Africa, at least for me.

Apart from the idiots in front of us the flight was ok we thought it was only 2 hours but it turned out to be 3 as Morroco have the same time as us back in the UK. We got off the plane and had to wait ages to get through passport control then when we got out there was a man waiting for us with the name of the Riad, I always wanted to come to the airport and have ...

... And oh my, we had the best balcony seats in the house as the sun turned the scene to a rosy glow and the square came alive w/ smokey food stalls, snake charmers, jugglers, magicians, et al as darkness descended.

All in all, a most magical night to top off my fantastic adventures in Morocco.

... we saw the first one, he asked if we wanted to see more and of course we said yes, but we didn't know we pretty much had to climb a 90 degree rock cliff to get there. We made it and it was beautiful. That night we had dinner in the square again with our waiter friends and shopped more in the stores. I also got a henna tattoo that I probably paid too much for because she told me just give me what you want. I gave her the equivalent of 20 euros because I didn't have any ...

... Morocco. I have had the opportunity to visit both Kenya and Tanzania in Africa, but Morocco is very distinct from these countries. Morocco is 98 percent Muslim, so this was a very interesting and new experience for me. I have never visited an Arabic country before. Many of the people dress with the traditional religious clothing, including some of the women covering their heads or faces with scarves. Many of the buildings are made from ...

... who are just begining to set up. A random monkey runs across the square. The plan for the day is, as of yet, unknown. In a city such as this, with so much to do, plans are a dangerous proposition. Especially without coffee. We head downstairs and ask for a nearby stop for breakfast. Suprise, suprise. Not only are we staying here for the equivalent of $3 a night, breakfast is included. We saunter our way to the bar (yeah, we sauntered) and are handed ...
