A new city, a new vibe
Today we wake up to bright sunshine beaming through the windows and Janelle is out the door to get all bunch of new shots of the blue city. Our next overnight is also our last one in Morocco. Bittersweet, but Tangier here we come. A quick photo op On the way is...
Why so Blue?
There was only one thing on our list of things to do today - drive to Chefchaouen. It is a 250km drive from Rabat and will take us at least 4 hours. Jason and I settle in to the back seat of the Toyota Pathfinder for the drive. I am grateful to have Heated Rivalry...
Hockey in Rabat?
Let’s see what there to do in Rabat. Aziz picks us up this morning with a full schedule for us. First stop is the Mausoleum of Mohamed V and the Hassan Tower. The tower was first started to be built in the 12-century but never finished. About 44m tall today and it was...
Ruined.
It is time to say goodbye to Fes and move on to greener pastures. Quite literally, it felt like we were driving through Ireland it was so green and lush. If I didn’t know any better, this could be Ireland. One of our major stops today was Volubilis to go and see some...
Left or Right?
We don’t have too much planned for today; the only thing scheduled is to be creative with making tiles and pottery. We’re back at the pottery and tile cooperative we visited yesterday. They have us assembling a 4x4 tile with pre-cut tile chips. Once we have our...
A Tale of Two Cities
We spent the day exploring Fes. The oldest city of Morocco. The origin. The city that started it all. The city that has been around since 808 AD. That’s a lot of years. And in the last 1200 years, it has gone through a few…additions. A major one in the 1400s and...
Sandboarding?!
What’s life if you run out of firsts? Well, today’s first is sandboarding. But first (see what I did there), we need to get to the dunes. And we’re going to reach them today on our 4-wheelers. Departing before dawn. How else are we going to see the sunrise this...
Well, We Didn’t Expect That!
Sun. Heat. Sand. Dry. HOT. This is what we expected from the Sahara Desert. Not at night, of course - we brought our winter coats, toques and gloves for the nights - but we brought shorts for the daytime. We even brought sunscreen. What did we get instead? Clouds....
Eat your heart out Lawrence!
Back in the road again this morning, today’s goal? The Sahara Desert! I had a funny thought this morning…we have never been so close to Timbuktu. A place that was always referenced in my childhood to say how impossibly far something was. Now, a mear 1600 kms away in...
