  • Essaouira

    4. januar 2018, Marokko ⋅ ☀️ 21 °C

    A fishing and resort town on the Atlantic. And one of my favorite places we visited. Of course that might be related to being in the Sahara and Atlas Mountains where we had trouble getting warm. 70F was welcome. But so was the town. Pics are of the center of town, some gates in the city walls with detail, a small street in the medina, and view of the ocean past the quarantine island where visitors had to wait to proved they weren't carrying any diseaseLæs mere

  • Argan

    4. januar 2018, Marokko ⋅ ☀️ 17 °C

    Argan is a tree that grows only in this area of Morocco. It gives a fruit that produces an oil like olive oil but with a different aroma and taste. The pics look out at the Afghan forest, a closer look at a tree and of the fruit. The last shot is taken in the women's cooperative where they press the oil by hand and make lots of various products.Læs mere

  • Essaouira fortress and harbor

    4. januar 2018, Marokko ⋅ ☀️ 20 °C

    Old Portuguese fortress protecting the old harbor. One picture I don't have is of the fish market right at the harbor. I got too busy eating fresh oysters while we bought a lot of different fish for lunch that we took to a restaurant that prepared our fish for our lunch. I didn't get any pictures if that either. I was too busy eating. Then I went for a Berber massage.Læs mere

  • Marrakesh

    6. januar 2018, Marokko ⋅ ⛅ 11 °C

    Most enjoyable city on the tour. Maybe because it just is. Maybe because I had adjusted to the culture. Maybe both. First pic is dinner in the medina. Very large open square that fills up with food stalls in the evening. Then a couple views over the m edina and a storm nest on the wall of a palace.Læs mere

  • The souk in Marrakesh

    6. januar 2018, Marokko ⋅ ⛅ 11 °C

    The souk or old market in the medina is a wonderful place. Narrow, winding streets/alleyways with innumerable merchants selling anything you can think of. Even though it might look like it is indoors, it is not. The roofs are there to block the sun in summer. It very easy to get lost. I was thankful for GPS that got us out.
    The tour guide warned me that locals would call me Ali Baba because of the beard. They did, often, and in the souk I got my inner Ali Baba on.
