The Sahara
10 September 2023, Maroko ⋅ 🌬 36 °C
A drive through some stunning landscape to the Sahara desert camp.
Through the High Atlas mountains lunch by the pool. Drive through to Erfoud. Here we visited fossil factory where fossils were beautified to sell. Date palms throughout the valley and tasted amazeballs.
Sandstorm in the desert, camel ride at sunset. Sarah's birthday. Surprise cake . Several bottles of red wine and an expensive bottle of port. Dancing to the locals playing their tunes. Knock knocks on doors of the single ladies asking if we wanted company 😂. Another brilliant day.Baca selengkapnya

The Rose Valley
11 September 2023, Maroko ⋅ 🌩️ 26 °C
Early start for an exceptionally underwhelming sunrise (but we saw one). After the worst coffee in the world a long day of travelling. A quick photo opportunity at the dinosaur park. A visit to the wells 500 rows and 14km of underground springs, as they have dried up you can now walk through, unfortunately due to the earthquake we were unable to do. Stop off for some dates for Mustapha's mum. Lovely lunch and walk through the start of the springs. More driving and a visit to Mustapha's parent home. Felt very privileged as I don't think he does this often.
Arrive at the Rose Valley. Lovely and cool.
Staying at Gite which is a family run guest house. Check out the terrace view.Baca selengkapnya

Rose Valley day 2.
12 September 2023, Maroko ⋅ 🌩️ 29 °C
Rose's Valley.
Ighil N'Oumgoun.
After a good night's sleep a yummy breakfast in a cave!
Then 4 1/2 hour 'death march' .... oh no sorry hike. Walk along river through the farm plots.
Probably cked up a dog on the walk who came with us and posed for a pic at tea.
Donkeys squirrels frogs and goats. Tea in the oldest Kasbah in the Valley.
Stunning lunch. 18k steps. Beautiful lunch slow lazy afternoon, henna for the ladies and a toast to Meg (Kate's mum (one of our tribe) who died unexpectedly overnight).
We all wishing we'd said yes to being offered a stop at a bottle shop on the way here as the Valley is alcohol free.
But when the offer was on there were a few red wine/port hang overs happening.Baca selengkapnya

Watching the bread being made in the morning for breakfast. Lots of beautiful scenery on our drive here. Stopping at a private Kasbah Ameridhl. Lots of movies filmed there. Lawrence of Arabia and Game of Thrones.
Watched some women weave their beautiful rugs. Had some tea with them. Made a purchase which will be shipped back. Walk through another filmed Kasbah and saw some of the earthquake damage. Selfie with a random stork sculpture.
Stayed at a guesthouse and shared fin and wine by the pool. Late dins which was meatballs chicken and veg tagine.Baca selengkapnya

Marrakesh day 1
14 September 2023, Maroko ⋅ ☀️ 28 °C
Beautiful scenery on route to Marrakesh this morning. Crossing the High Atlas mountains, surprisingly cold on the top. Also super windy.
Nous nous (coffee) and a stop at the Argan oil information center. We said goodbye to our driver for the past 2 weeks. Said was brilliant fun. Fabulous accomodation in the Riad we were supposed to stay in prior to the quake. Just some minor cracks. A walk through the main square to have some lunch. First time we've had shit service all trip. A walk around the Medina or at least as much as we could. There is significant damage to some parts. The first hot shower in a while and a drink in the central part of the Riad. Brilliant dinner fabulous food and at last a decent drop of wine. Half the group went home and the girls went out with Mustapha... very funny night.Baca selengkapnya

Marrakesh the final day.
15 September 2023, Maroko ⋅ ☀️ 31 °C
Sleep in...yay. Breakfast and a walk around the market, spices and teeth are still me of the things available, this morning followed by a trip to the Marjorelle Gardens. Sadly most of the things we were supposed to be visiting are closed due to damage from the earthquake. So I filled my afternoon with a traditional Hammam - full body scrub for an hour and massage for an hour... then managed to get lost on the way back. 😂
All is well... last dinner tonight which is sad. Off to Portugal in the morning on my next leg. Mustapha's brother, Ridwan drove Sarah and I to the airport.. 🤣Baca selengkapnya

Feeling a bit sick...another sinus infection... so took as much medication that I could without falling asleep and headed off.
Attempting a self guided walking tour however with all the construction going on just got frustrated so walked over to the cultural center of the town. Walked along the waterfront and had some lunch, fish and veg and a glass of Rose. Found a couple of interesting sculptures along the way. (I'm a bit attracted to the odd stuff) A little bit of rain around not cold though. Walk back over the bridge to attempt the original walk in reverse!
Saw....
Praca da Ribeira
Casa do infante - birth place of ahenry the Navigator
Igreja de sao Francisco.

The architecture is amazing as is the color and that le use on homes.
Also my first Portuguese Tart...

Douro Valley wine tour day
18 September 2023, Portugal ⋅ ⛅ 16 °C
Boarded a bus for a trip to the Douro Valley.
Made some new friends... all Americans but I don't hold that against this bunch they were good eggs. I did however to lower the average age by around 20 years 😂.
First a 45 minute drive to a Portery.... Port tastings for morning tea... what could go wrong. Down into the valley for a traditional Portuguese lunch bread olives rice pork ribs in red wine with cabbage, lamb stew and white beans with chorizo and hock.
And if course more port and wine....
Local train station decorated with tiled pictures of wine history. I've spared you all the full set!
Nothing to 'shit selfie's with so you got wine barrels.
Then a river cruise which was beautiful surrounded by raw wine vines.
Next a boutique winery with spectacular views and more tastings. Lovely day.
Off to Coimbra by train in the morning.Baca selengkapnya

Beautiful Coimbra
19 September 2023, Portugal ⋅ ☁️ 23 °C
Near miss with going to the wrong train station this morning! Pics of the train station just for fun. Anyway made it here. Had a traditional breaky...yummo. Found an app Bounce which provides places to store luggage should you need to and dumped my pack. What a stunning town, albeit fucking hilly. Resembling mountain goat country with cobblestone roads and paths.... walk slowly through to the University which was mind blowing. Facilities of medicine (do you recognize anything in my pics).
The Ceremonial Hall, the Jesus College...I shit you not this place housed the Cabinet of Physics and Natural History Gallery.
Pic of traditional university uniform which is still worn today but only if you choose to do so. There were stones from Australia in there and some very odd displays of nature (I think), the Road Palace and St Michael's Chapel.
Se Velha, yes I went into a church it was stunning.
Then the Old Library. (Joanne), this was mind blowing. Sorry no pics allowed. Super old books and bats live in there to "take care of" the rodents.
Time for a glass of Rose and a bite to eat then a Fado show. Slow walk back to my quirky Air BNB via aldi!
34+k steps.
Lisbon tomorrow.Baca selengkapnya
