... nice though. I was tired, and frustrated from the
days proceedings, and opted to stay inside the hotel while Milli and Nick
walked around and then when it started storming Milli and I had a early night.

We woke pretty
early and went for a wander, then back to the hotel for a breakfast of jam,
bread, spongy pancake thingies and coffee. Milli and Nick wanted to see some
sights, all I wanted to do was walk around the souqs so we split up for the
day.

Marrakech, Morocco shanemilli

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 ...

... 8217;s like being lost in a House of Mirrors except you are totally out of your comfort zone. I never felt afraid but your antennae are up, for sure. I was robbed 40 years ago in the alleyways of Tangiers so…. but I honestly don’t feel unsafe; instead it’s a kind of edgy nervousness. A guy said he’d take us to the area of our riad but he was just as lost. That cost me only 10 Durhams. (He says, “ ...

... Neve helped a weaver called Fatima knot a carpet. In the evening we went to the main square as dusk fell and wandered amongst the street performers: snake charmers, musicians and storytellers. Neve got a henna tattoo. Back to riad for delicious rooftop dinner of lentil soup, meat tangine and fruit to finish.

... be an incredible picture to shoot at each and every corner, but the people here really get a fit when you take a picture of them. The Egyptians seemed far more relaxed about this. Pull out a camera here and you will feel like a rapist in a monastery. No telephoto lens is long enough. They will spot you. I started shooting out of the hip like John Wayne, without looking through the viewfinder, but I got caught. When ...

... 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".

... and we also passed through the Souks (market in English). This is the famous tourist-shopping area. We stopped in a pharmacy for a presentation. Pharmacies include both medicinal and cooking supplies. We were able to smell or use many of the products there. This included lotions, perfumes, lip balms, and many cooking spices. Common spices in Morocco are saffron, curry, a spice similar to a barbeque flavor, and others. Mint tea is ...

... pose with the monkey for pictures. Now, I'm not for monkey enslavement or anything, but fine, whatever, at least it is better than snakes. The issue is that these men walk up to you and just put the monkey on you to "trick" you into paying them. Double ARRRGGHHH! So, you have snakes all around and the occasional monkey dropping by and potentially touching you. Trust me, you will forget about the smells! Anyway, it is crazy and definitely a scene worth experiencing (at least ...
