... the medina to the Bahia Palace which had lots of cats roaming
around and was very unassuming from the outside (something that Moroccans
appear to love to do). But once inside it was an amazing building with
intricately carved wooden arches, beautiful ceramic tiles, cool breezy rooms
and sunny courtyards with lots of orange trees. Unfortunately lots of tour
groups too but you had to pick your way around them and try to block the sound
out. It was a beautiful place ...

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!

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 ...

... at your riad to trek over to their riad), just down the alleyway from our hotel entrance, is a winding path, really, that after 2 minutes leads to a busy alley with shops, people and scooters. Along the way, at a 90 degree turn, sits a beggar woman with two boys about 4 and 6 yrs old. I stopped to give a coin to one of the boys, the elder one. (I think helping the poor comes right out of the Koran.) Then behind me I hear this ...

... price we've been paying away from the city, but still good value . Breakfast on the roof includes home made muesli and lots of fresh fruit. Piles of oranges are available for guests whenever as well as little yummy pastries. Marrakech isnt quite as alarming as I expected but is still noisy and busy and smelly and dirty. The main square is pretty overwhelming especially in the evening with snake charmers, story ...

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 ...

Levanta-se
uma pequena tempestade de areia...toca a correr dali para fora e rápido
antes que ela chegue até nós....descer é fácil é só correr para chegar
a nossa "haima"(tenda Tuareg). Ai vem ela, impressionante a força da
natureza, e a resistencia da "haima"e dos seus cobertores. Passa pouca
areia para dentro isto em comparação com o que esta a passar lá fora.
Uma hora bastou uma hora, para que ganhasse bastante respeito ao

... are an exotic trip into the Arabian-night myths that fed our imaginations when we were kids; we almost expected to see magical flying carpets and genie-in-the-bottles being sold from every stall. In reality, what we were offered was more quidotienne but still quite colorful. For sale we saw musical instruments of every variety, iron-crafted lamps, rich silks in varied patterns, pointy leather shoes in every color of the rainbow, pharmacies laden with powders, creams, liquids and ...
