Just some pictures from Morocco
Things we really appreciated:
- the road, maybe because we haven't driven for a while, we thought it was wonderful being in such a beatiful land almost alone and with a long way in front of us;
- Marrakesh, it's a unique place and if you go to Morocco it has to be seen or you'll miss no just a place but an experience as well. Marrakesh it's colourful, scented and crowded. We stayed in a place called "Hotel La gazelle" (14 euro for night for a double room, clean and typical), we recommed it ...it's in 12, Rue bani Marine, tel 044 44 11 12, three minutes from the main square;
- Essaouria, it's a beautiful village on the sea with an amazing white sandy beach (have a look to the fish market, really...fishy);
- Agadir's beach, we flight from Dublin to Agadir (cheap flight, check on www.sunway.ie) and consquently we stayed there for a while, three nights in the Residence ISNI (Av. Prince Moulay Abdellah, tel 048 84 26 40). Agadir is not as fascinating as Essaouria and we have to say it's probably not interesting at all but the is a stunning huge beach and if you love walking and playing on the beach you'll love the place;
- prices, Morocco it's quite cheap if you stick to local places (restaurants where you see local people, ...);
- pastry, they're mainly made with almons and fruits, delicious;
Things we didn't like:
- the cost from the airport to Agadir is 20 Euro, more than three dinners in the restaurants;
- you can't find beer or wine in local restaurants, and so we drank water every evening...but then most of the places on the beach sell beer;
- don't go into a shop just for "having a look" then they'll huggle until when you buy something not because you want but because you don't have forces left for saying no;
- the sun is really powerful over there, we felt asleep the first afternoon on the beach ( bit drunk all right) and we got burnt, it's better if you rent an umbrella (only 2 euro for day);
