A Change of Scenery
I can’t believe we are saying goodbye to Marrakech already. Have we had enough of that city? I’m not sure that answer is yes. But, here we are, climbing into a Toyota Pathfinder with Aziz to drive away. Whether we are done with Marrakech madness or not, we are on our...
Why Technology Gods? Why?
Remember last year when in Tanzania - the day before heading onto our safari when my phone crapped out. I spent the entire evening reviving the phone, then the next several weeks limping along. This time it’s the day before we’re scheduled to head into the Sahara...
The Marrakech Must-Sees
Google “what to do in Marrakech” and you will get oodles of pages advertising the same half dozen things to see. Today is our day to do exactly that. We brace ourselves for another high step-count day. C’mon hip flexors, IT bands & feet - pull yourselves...
Hitting the Market in Marrakech
A late start for us today, I’m still shaking off the ‘Milkshake Monday’ fog. Our plan today is to make it down to Saadian Tombs before they close at 5:00. We find out when we get there at 3:15 that they close at 3:00 because of Ramadan. Oh well - off to the market....

If You Cook It…
...You better believe we will be there! One of our most favourite ways to discover the culture of a country is to take a cooking class. Although, let's be real. All of the ways to discover a culture are our favourite. But at least in a cooking class, we get to eat....
Taking it easy today, only 30,000 steps
The list of things to see today is rather short. Only six. Sacred Heart Cathedral, Notre Dame, New Town, The Royal Palace, Old Town, and Rick's Café. Well, one things fore sure when jet lag has you wide awake at 4am, you really get a good start for the day. We're both...
We Love it THIS Much!
The best way to combat jet lag is to ignore it. Completely. Carry on your day as though you've nothing wrong with you. And when that doesn't work, you suck it up, put your shoes on, pick a destination and get going. It's a good thing there are so many interesting and...
