Day Four - Essaouira
October 6, 2006
Where did day three go? Our fourth day in Morocco saw us venture to the coastal town of Essaouira. From Marrakech it had been a three and half hour drive along relatively quiet roads through the desert, passing through 3-4 large towns on the way. This did include stops at an Argan Community Co-op, and strangley by a man who had positioned his goats in a tree and who then flagged down passing tour groups so that we could photograph the ’spectacle’.
Day Two - Marrakesh Tour
October 4, 2006
This was so very funny a day for completely banal reasons. Our second day began once we had eaten our petite dejeuner. We sauntered out to Mohammed V Avenue in search of the Marrakech Tour bus, but was approached by a taxi driver who offered to tour us for 200 dirhams (again is this the standard rate?). Given the 10 minute tripMarrakech, I really didn’t. Where you someone who watch the series Quantum Leap? O boy…
Day One - Riad Dar Atta
October 3, 2006
Blery eyed, my Nokia alarm woke me at around 4am so that I could roll off my suitcases and finish zipping the last of what I need to take with me into the case. I couldn’t really think, my hair was a mess, I didn’t get a chance to wash it so I tied it under a bandana shoved my hat on it and thanked the Lord above that I had decided to bathe before going to sleep. I hate packing. I hate early morning short haul flights even more.
