Riad Le Grand Large Essaouira

... few days to have a wash as they dont have any shower facilities in their houses. I was going to go but apparently it is really hot and I was a bit worried about fainting as I still dont feel 100% after the acident. So Ian went off with Mohammad on his own and I hung around reading and trying to get our washing dry which was hanging on the line on the roof terrace. Ian got back smoking a morrocan cigarette and acting now like a true ...

... alleyways of Essaouria. <br><br> - Though I normally minimize my time w/ fellow travelers (preferring instead to - why rub shoulders w/ the locals of course!), one evening I opted to sip a beer atop a seaside "tourist" restaurant balcony whilst enjoying a spectacular Moroccan sunset and... There I met a delightful couple from London, along w/ a lad from northern England. Blessedly, our chatter avoided the usual ...

... behind the fish stalls &#8211; where your freshly bought seafood is placed on a bbq and a few minutes later its in front of you on the table ready to eat.<br><br>Anyone who knows me well, will know that I don&#8217;t eat any kind of fish or seafood (except fish fingers &#8211; which don&#8217;t really count as fish, lets face it) &#8211; its been the longest psychological battle in my mind over food and I&#8217;ve no idea where it came from, I just have never been able to ...

... The road to Essaouira is partly along the coast where some huge waves attract surfers, but at 17 degrees water temperature at this time of the year, it appears somewhat pale compared to Hawaii. So I guess they come here if Daddy's cheque didn't arrive in time for the flight to Honolulu. Essaouira is a town with a great atmosphere. It is right next to the coast, a walled city that looks unchanged ...

... 3 wonderful courses). We had a successful trip to the souk in Essaouira today, where Ben finally got a haircut (he figured it was time when he was getting approached in the street by one of the local hairdressers) and I bought a pair of red babouches for around the house. We plan to spend tomorrow morning by the pool, before packing up and heading to Casablanca where we will join our tour group.

arrived at the coast yesterday after a back breaking (and you know when i say it I mean it) 8 hours in the bus, after 1600 mg of motrin (she says grumpily) washed down with half a bottle of moroccan wine at on of the nicest restaurants in Essaouira we went to bed and now have a day here before packing up and going to marrakesh tomorrow, then home. The thought of going back to work is dragging on both Renee and I, she wants to buy a very ...

The hostel is surrounded by red clay canyons and cliffs, and the ocean. If you ever want to hide out and be somewhere amazing-- this is the place! Auberge Tasra, Imsouane.

... other tourists who like us were probably wondering if we would get back alive!!! The bus was a slow bus as it made quite a few stops along the way and instead of about taking 3 hours (as our morning tourist bus had taken) it took about 4 &amp; a half hours. We were on the edge of Marrakesh and I was almost getting hypothermia due to the cold wind leaking into the bus when we were stopped by a police patrol. We had seen many of these on our ...
