Hotel Dellarosa Marrakech

... After a stressful spell though the buzz of Marrakech makes me appreciate all we have experienced and everything us Westerners have even more. Morocco is more amazing than i remembered with its incredible colours, culture and continuous backdrop of distant mountain ranges.

Reality beckons as we are back by Chrimbo but for now we are losing ourselves in all sorts of surreal and out-standing cinema in the sunny but still cold capital...

Efter att ha tillbringat natten på en kall flygplats i Barcelona var det otroligt skönt att igår eftermiddag äntligen komma fram till Marrakesh och få vila hela eftermiddagen på vårt toppenmysiga riad (typ hotell) "Marhaba”. Mot våra förväntningar var Marrakesh kallt och regnigt, så vi fick plocka fram elementet i rummet och dra på oss långkalsongerna.

Idag är det fint soligt väder och vi ...

... through. This is not your average tour. An overlanding tour is you plus twenty or more of your new closest friends living off an overlanding truck, a huge truck with a passenger compartment with flaps as windows and well worn seats all facing inward. Cooking gear and truck stuff goes in the undercarriage compartments while our stuff, tents and food go in compartments found under the seats and floors of the cab. Essentially you are hauled from place to ...

... on the toilets since there were no toilet seats, but you can't be picky when it comes to these things. Well at least we would have hot showers for three days.

It really sucks to have such a weak stomach in Africa. I spent the better part of our first day in Marrakech worshiping the porcelain goddess, so I missed the first day in the city but felt well enough to go to the Marjane with Summer and Gavin where we loaded up on lunch supplies and had some incredibly delicious ...

... of which I shall tell you." So Abraham does what God tells him to do-Isaac is his beloved son, the son God promised Abraham to come from his barren wife, Sarah. God promised Abraham that his descendants would outnumber the stars in the sky, and then He told Abraham to sacrifice this very son. Can you imagine that? Isaac asks his father "Look, the fire and the wood, but where is the lamb for a burnt offering?' And Abraham said, "My son, God will provide for Himself the lamb for a burnt ...

... Souk Cherratin (leather), Souk Zrabia (Berber), Souk Haddadine (blacksmiths), Souk Babouches (slippers), and Souk Chouari (carpenters). Any kind of coordinated or strategic approach would require the services of a local guide or specialty GPS as they are truly a warren. Our approach was simply to wander around and see what came to us. Our favorite souk was the slipper souk. But the favorite find was an amazing shop with a huge selection of one of a kind items such ...

I fall in love with Morocco... the colours, the light, the people, the food, the smile on people's face... Programme of the week; horse riding in the Atlas, tennis, walking, spa, dinks in the most beautifull Riad, and a lot of souking... So different, out of time, relaxing. I will come back!

... them on their bluff and petitioned for a overruling however the referee, who happens to be the owner, ruled the final charge a goal. Down 4-0 I caught a lucky break when a shop owner overcharged two dirham for our sodas. That's about 25 cents saved. Yes its a cheap goal but I'm counting this one. Tom ended up scoring another goal when we flanked our way outside a corrupt group of scamming taxi drivers at the train station. Our efforts proved to be too little too ...
