Riad Tzarra 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 ...

... kollat in staden ordentligt och irrat runt bland alla små gator och torg där de säljer allt möjligt och omöjligt bl.a. på jakt efter fina tofflor som Astrid vill ha med sig till Sverige. Jag (Karin) har redan blivit pålurad en henna-tatuering vars pris varierade mellan gratis och 400 dirham (knappt 400 sek). Slutligen kom vi ”överens” om 50 dir (försäljerskan var inte så nöjd med detta). Här är många sköna m ...

... significantly cheaper and their Trans went quite a bit further. We have run into the Oasis truck on numerous occasions and yes it is much nicer with coach seats and a better sound system but I'd rather sacrifice such things to be able to do more on my trip. I mean over $1000 in savings can go quite a long ways in side trips like rafting and shark diving. I would advise if you are choosing an overlanding trip that if you need the extra comfort to go with ...

... hut. By the way, Pizza hut is an incredibly posh restaurant in Morocco so it seems with proper wait staff and an extensive menu. I don’t think I’ve ever had pizza hut that tasted that good!

That night it rained, and I mean RAINED. Everyone who had been out all day in the city returned to the campsite completely drenched while those of us who stayed ran around trying to make sure there were rain covers on all the tents and all the electronics were in dry areas. No ...

... going to Africa for Thanksgiving! Flying into Casablanca was surreal-I am almost positive that I saw Humphrey Bogart wave to me from a roof, but don't quote me.

My day in Casablanca was really only a morning, and it was highlighted by seeing the Hassan Mosque, which was built in part over the Atlantic Ocean. It was gorgeous, and a wonderful place to eat breakfast. Next, we piled into the vans and drove to Marrakech. The drive was awesome; this whole abroad experience has made me ...

... in Marrakech. It's all just part of the experience. I don't think I ever found anything on the first try. But it was all right in the end, each time. And when it all became too much to handle I would just come back to the riad and relax. I would sit on the rooftop terrace and write in my journal, and it was quiet... the most important thing.

I can't say enough good things about the staff there too. Kamal and Hakim and Tim were ...

... de menta como de costume, conversamos e prossegui com as comprinhas. Pela noite o grupo se reencontrou e jantamos nas barracas de comida. Tajine, Couscous e Brouchette, o basico de todos os cardapios. Conheci a Tony (EUA), Koen (Holanda) e Eric (EUA) na medina, e voltamos ao albergue para sobremesa. Dia seguinte muito cedo fui ao encontro do grupo/agencia que iria ao deserto do Sahara numa viagem de 3 dias e 2 noites. O motorista cautelosamente atravessou as ...

... the souks for about an hour looking for big enough shoes in a red/brown or orange color. We smiled and nodded alot as we talked, sipped steaming tea and haggled over the prices. In the end, everyone seemed satisfied...even if we did start at less than half the price they named. Saw women haggling for bread, for household supplies. I can't imagine doing that everyday for everything...it would be exhausting. I learned to let "la, la, la" roll off my tongue (no, no, no ...
