13, Av. Zerktouni Oujda, Morocco, 60000
Marakech has it's advantages, but afte a while you need to get out. After traveling around the city, trying to get the outdoor or small town feeling, you realize that it's probably better to actually go to a small town. We decided we want the dsert, so we're going to head out that way. The street ends at M'hamid (as in get's covered by sand dunes), but on the way we'll stop at Ouarzazate, and maybe Zagora. I think this is mainly so we don'y have to sit on a bus for 9 hours. Today we boarded a...
Ouarzazate, Morocco jaxxedWhat a welcome change was Ouarzazate. You still have the hounding of both Marakech and the more African hustlers, but they are easy to dodge with some tact. The hotel we found was cold, but it ws cheap and management and staff were warm-hearted which helped. At one point I was either nearly adopted by the Femme de Chambre, or maybe married to her, I'm not sure which. I wasn't too worried either way as I could have done much worse, however Rob was feeling a little rejected when she communicate...
Ouarzazate, Morocco jaxxedSo I figured out where to go after Marrakesh. And I couldn't have gotten out of there fast enough. Maybe it was because I was by myself and couldn't speak the language but I was just tired of being a walking dollar sign. I did have some good ecounters before I left though. I met a Berber teacher named Abdul who invited me back to his house for tea. He kept calling me Eric Clapton and put on a Simon and Garfunkel tape for me. My last experience in the city was actually one of my best. I had to...
Ouarzazate, Morocco mightysevenI woke up today sick as can be. I havent felt that bad in a very long time. I am assuming it was just something I ate so hopefully it will be over soon. After about 20 hours of not eating anything I finally had a salad and I am feeling a little better. Every trip has a low point, I should be lucky mine waited until my trip was almost over. Last night I met up with that family I met on the train. They invited me back to their house for tea and some snacks. Then I went with the father to pick u...
Fes, Morocco mightysevenWell I have finally topped a small goal of mine, I have now visited 50 countries (countries according to my country book)...(I haven't completely updated all my trips on here, hence the 43 rather than 50) It was a great weekend! It is a completely different lifestyle to ...
Melilla, Spain papayaprincess... of 19 energetic and outgoing Ludus team-members... ola! Ludus Crew! Ludus Tours (Ludustours.com) is a young company basing their tours and services around athletic events... headed by Adam and Jessica Daily. Thanks for the experience and opportunity guys!

This plan ...
Chefchouen, Morocco wanderfootNador in Morocco borders Melilla in Spain. We got here so early in the morning that no one had checked out of their rooms yet and we had to wander, bleary-eyed from hotel to hotel trying to find an empty room. When we finally found one, we realized too late that their was no shower in the entire hotel. We also had to wake the proprietor up and he ushered us to a room (from the comfort of his bed). The room was lovely with rotting fruit left in ...
Nador, Morocco hildreth75... to see why. Just as we approached Ras we slowed and started to get ready to walk on the beach. Then we noticed a military post that was manned by two armed Moroccans. Hmmmm, interesting. The countries most beautiful beaches are armed by the Military. We decided not to get in trouble and elected to drive further down the road. Only to find a military post every kilometer. There is something very alarming about ...
Oujida, Morocco myjob... polite, and very friendly. We are treated equally as the locals in any store, whatever it's a souvenir one or a grocery one. A small town on the coast which mentality is so different from Casa's, keeps amazing me. To say the truth, I discovered Casablanca after 5 very difficult months in Mauritania and I had enough of Northern Africa at that time. I don't know if I would see Casa the same way now but I made peace with the Moroccans here. Nothing beats seating at a café's terrace ...
Nador, Morocco siegfried_h.Another go in Algeria, but this time in the western coastal part. Commissioning and startup of a LPG pipeline from the main oil-processing industrial zone in Algeria to the neighbouring cities: Sidi Bel Abbes and Tlemcen. That was in the government's effort towards development, and to replace the former LPG delivery system: I got to visit Oran, Ain-Temouchent, Sidi-Bel Abbes, Remshi, Tlemcen, and all the countryside between ...
