Sahara Regency Agadir

... large sauna that I couldn't step out of. The dry air sucking moisture from my skin, my breath. This heat makes me feel a very primal energy, raw. I am in Africa. Roar."

I was sad to say goodbye to my life on the coast, but I had wonderful solo adventures on the road traveling in Morocco for 10 days when I left. I craved the mountains and cooler weather, so I hit the High Atlas ...

... all about being respectful so I'm fine with this.  It's just odd to go out into town and not see women in the streets, to be so surrounded by men. 

I'm having an incredible time here, meeting fun and interesting people who stay with us.  My main jobs are to teach yoga and socialize with guests staying at our villas/guesthouse locations or while out surfing with them.  Pretty sweet.  I live in an apartment in ...

... your stay! You'll enjoy the services offered at Morocco's Sofitel Agadir , the concierges are there to meet your individual needs.

... visited The UniPrix, a supermarket with fixed prices (rare thing for arabian countries =D ) and then went to get pastry and drink some Nes-nes (milky coffee).

Also I discovered that some souvenirs which I bought earlier on Bazaar, even while i bargained as a devil to get price cut in half, had 10 times lower price in a fixed-price shops! Not Fair! Now I would know that in my future trips!

And then, at ...

... bridges. Almost all territory is covered with a beautiful garden with different things like car, bench and boots made of bushes (see photos). Great hotel =).

The last was Le Tivoli 4* - Good hotel. Simple, But very green, club-type, the roads are warming from the inside, and the rooms are pretty, in a colonial style=)

Then we got to the hotel which gave us rooms to live. Kenzi Europa 4*. Awful! Two high living buildings by the sides ...

... 30 minutes we're in the hotel. The hotel officials took us to the salon and gave us the mint tea with moroccan cookies while the guide was telling which room belongs to who. When i got the keys and entered the room, it was almost midnight so I fell asleep without further delay.

... Agadir, at this time of the year, is not exactly JFK. It was about the quietest airport I've seen in a long time, and so orderly, no touts, no mess. Nobody. A few tour buses were waiting for package tourists, and in the distance a few taxis. They must have known about the situation and were asking for quite a high price, 15 Euro to go into town and 30 Euro to my hotel a little north of ...

... families, Moroccan culture, food, and clothes, but I also have to accustom myself to the family's way of living. They are Chinese-American and they do things very differently than what I am used to. In the afternoon, Lee (the mother) and I went to a Moroccan family's home, whose uncle had died. They served us Moroccan pancakes, lots of sweets, and hot milk with coffee. A custom in Morocco is to have a pair of outside shoes and a pair of house slippers. Once inside, you slip off the ...

... hundreds of sops everywhere, making sure all us tourists feel secure from the 'locals'. The town is also plastered heavily with billboards featuring half naked white folks, frolicking in the sea etc. The town also features over 1/4 of ALL of the hotel beds in the country of Morocco and is very new, very shallow, very cheezy, very touristy and modern, and affordable only to wealthy tourists. The town appears reallt well off, but this faux wealth is exacerbated by the fact that ...

... i travelled to and stayed in London, I caught up with Luke, a mate i met over here at a concert last time, which was really good to catch up. Back to work tomorrow.....! Better make a move and go and catch a bus, considering i am old now, me and my walking frame take twice as long to get anywhere..... ! =) Love to all, Swedish/French/English Bec x Total count of how many times ive said 'amazing, funny and unbelievable and used an excalmation mark' - 47!! (49now.....)
