OMG! Wifi!!! (Ack! no message keyboard) More later

O.k. perhaps I best explain...

Coming up for air here after many adventures all across Morocco. Am presently in Essaouira - a most lovely seaside town along the Atlantic coast, about 3 hrs. southwest of Marrakech.

The techno explaination:

I arrived yesterday (well actually "today" as it's now Oct. 4, but I shall leave the date above as that's when I first arrived) and whilst ...

Horse riding, fish market and a punch up

... and John is looking at me in total and utter surprise, it amuses him, he says he never thought he’d see the day – well, me neither – I have to say it, I even shocked myself!!! This is what I love about travel – you are in unusual surroundings, embracing different cultures and it just felt wrong to refuse it – who would’ve known it, that it would take a trip to North Africa to cure my phobia about eating fish!

The price for the meal ...

Seventh Day - Essaouira trip

... two hours. When we arrived, it was such beautiful! We walked to the defensive fortress built right on the cliffs, there are many cannons which looks ahead on the ocean. The waves are crushing on the cliffs under the fortress... And the wind of course! It knocks you down as if you were a puppet... Incredible feelings... Then we went to the deep part of the fortress, to the town itself. We visited ...

The Gem of the Morrocan Medina

... of the natives as well as the tourists, the gnaoua music whispering in the
background. The hotel is located in the heart of all that is happening in Morocco.



If you aren't sure how to start your day, a friendly hotel concierge would be more than happy to


be of help to you. The staff, though discreet, is always at your call to meet your individual


needs. Whether ...

... toegepast kan worden. Dat moesten we even onderzoeken. Waarom nu net Marokko? Ziehier een vers uit de nummer 1-hit: 'Le tiroir dynamique..il est seulement utilisé en Afrique'. En Ahmed van de groentenwinkel hiernaast kon een goedkope vlucht regelen. Vandaar. Een verslag met fotos volgt later!

Stepping back in time

... of Arabia, and lots of people would travel back home to their families, so they put an old rattling bus back on the road and it came just at the right time. There was one seat left and it was next to a middle aged woman in a long dress so I wasn't too sure if it would be ok for me to sit there or would I get thrown out of the bus after only 50 meters, but I guess I was tolerable to the community ...

Sorry Nemo, We Eat Dory! Hash & Fishing

... money. There is not much theft in Moroccco because Moroccans know how to seperate you from your money in other ways. The photo issue is difficult because it is a very photogenic country and i have been sad to miss some wonderful shots. There is no way i could intrude on people's lives by shoving my camera in their faces as i have seen many ignorant tourists do. People take pictures of scenes like children playing and beggars in the street without asking permission ...

Essaouira

... Fortunately she was well enough on day 3 to walk and see the "castles in the sand" which inspired Jimi Hendrix, and to have the camel ride. Hassan and his trusty camels saved Joy and Jen the walk back to town. What was really disappointing was the rubbish in the rocks and sand dunes along the beach, but we did enjoy walking, sunbathing, reading and even swimming in the ...

Journey Across the Anti Atlas Mountains

Day 10 took us on a 5 hour journey from the desolate anti Atlas Mountains, over the spectacular Tizi-n-Tichka Pass (2260m) and on to the scenic Toubkal National Park. Just out of the market village of Asni, we stopped into the restored Kasbah Tamandout, owned by Sir Ric************. The road ended at a small village called Asni. I added to ...
