Dar Limoun Amara 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 ...

... sta äventyr blev en tur till en moppe-marknad. Vi höjde andelen turister där med 100% och Karin höjde andelen kvinnor med ca 50%. Det blev ingen deal idag men efter lite funderande (som innefattade uppgifter från vår hotellvärd om att det tar 28 tim. med buss till gränsen mellan Marocko och Mauritanien) har vi kommit fram till moppe nog är det perfekta färdmedlet för oss. Imorgon fortsätter toffeljakten!

Massa kramar!

... but if you don’t care then African Trails will do just fine. In all honesty our truck doesn’t look nearly as nice as nice as others on the road but it has so much more personality and I don’t feel deprived of anything.

The Overlanding Experience

This is not your average air-conditioned tour, this is an overlanding tour. A tour implies a guide giving you direction and informing you on the sights and sounds of the areas you ...

Marrakech is most definitely my favorite city thus far. I hate to say it is also one of the most touristy places we have visited thus far. I wonder if maybe I just found it comforting to see people in shorts and tank tops again. We stayed in a camp site full of the usual wild cats but with a twist, we had about a dozen Peacocks. Simply stunning. Happy were we to find the campsite equipped with hot water and western toilets, but I do believe that the Spanish may have had their ...

... only married to Nassima's brother last year. "I'm a new one!" she told me, smiling. We talked about marriage, and she said it is totally awesome, and she's completely in love with her husband. She said that they were family friends and didn't know each other very well before getting married. It wasn't an arranged marriage, but she told me that love comes after marriage, and then it keeps coming. I loved that! We also talked about babies, and how much we both want them, which I thought ...

Today we visit the Palais el Bahia, which is very impressive for its painted roofs and mosaics. Had a rip-off lunch at the square, but we paid for the view, so I guess it wasn't too bad. Then we said goodbye to Richard who is headed back to England. Down to 2... Attempted to do the walking tour from the lonely planet, which had us start in some obscure place away from the square. The tour said it took 3 hours. It took us almost 3 ...

... on the coach and I think pretty much the same on the other. The bus is really nice, just like we've had in Europe. Casablanca is an assault of the senses. Even from way offshore we had seen the layer of smog/smoke that shrouds the city. It has what we could only describe as an exotic, not industrial, smell. Once we head away from the dock area the apparent chaos is overwhelming; and this is Saturday, pretty ...

... some lovely little hands (and some lovely larger ones too but they were too expensive). We bought three and two chains (all silver) for 150DH or around £9. We carried on walking with the idea of finding somewhere for lunch when Mum happened upon some lovely Hand of Fatima earrings. The men of the shop told her they were 200DH to which she responded (more as a statement than anything) that she only had 20DH. The man thought and offered her a price of 100DH ...
