... late the first day. A painstakingly long delay
before we even got to the Taxi, enormous Immigration and Customs queues, as
well as Nick exacerbating the delay by stopping every 5 metres to take photos.
The taxi driver patiently waited for us, and I impatiently paced to and fro.

We finally
arrived in the Medina, and were met by a local guy and his cart. He took our bags
before I even had a chance to say no, and we were following him through the
maze 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!

... magnificent mazes of Marakesh. After the events of my manic few months back in Britain, i was up for a few days of down time but the city soon sucked me in.

Between BIG sleeps and snuggles with the resident cats, camp land lord and lovely courtyard at our hotel, we wound our way amongst the amazing stalls, scenery and scents of an awesome place.

... of it is: I got sick. Dehydration leading to nausea leading to we’re home by 2:30 to get into that cold pool. Susan had flashbacks of intravenous bags. On the countryside: there are more donkeys that vehicles; the poverty is grinding; the people are just as friendly. I haggled twice: once unsuccessfully for three necklaces and once successfully for a fossil. On that, the starting bid was 800 Durhams (about $110Cdn); I ...

Took us until 6pm to get to Marrakech over the mountain passes which were incredibly windy and steep. One section was a true razorback ridge with massive drops on either side - I closed my eyes! The changing scenery made the drive interesting though - once out of the mountains we dropped into lush farmland ...

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 ...

Marrakech
uma cidade com vida, com cor, com aroma, a praça Jemaa El-fna, é
fantástico assistir ao final da tarde a todo aquele espectacular que é
o aparecimento de todos aqueles restaurantes ambulantes...onde se come
por 3,00 € apesar das condições de higiene serem bastante duvidosas,
mas a comida é sempre muito ...

... 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 ...

... strange spices, feathers, etc.) Now, as you leave the medicine men behind, this is where the "danger area" starts. You will hear and see a lot of men playing tin horns. The men playing these horns are SNAKE CHARMERS, and they all have about 5 or 6 LARGE SNAKES (some cobras, some fat snakes that look like rattlesnakes). I have learned that this is the sound to RUN from. However, soon you will find that you are surrounded by tin horns and there isn't really a good direction ...
