    Fès Medina

    26. august 2024, Marokko ⋅ ☀️ 36 °C

    More exploring around our accommodation. Basically the Medina runs from the top of the hill to the bottom. Two main streets run roughly parallel with each other with a myriad of interlacing streets and dead ends. We have tried a couple of Tangine dishes, meat and chicken. Really filling and tasty.Les mer

    Walking Tour

    27. august 2024, Marokko ⋅ ☀️ 36 °C

    Today we start with the traditional breakfast served in our Riad. Fried egg, local breads, jam and olives. Black coffee and tea also provided. We then head off to our walking tour with Mohammed. Our tour takes in one of the oldest University’s in the world, an ancient clock that no one now knows how to fix, brass and copper shop, and a rug shop with rugs in the Berber style for $4,000. (On special) 🙂Les mer

    Salè

    1. september 2024, Marokko ⋅ ☀️ 28 °C

    Salè. Just over the river to Rabat, Morocco’s capital. We are staying in a Riad within the Medina. Very much different to Fès. Hardly any sit down eateries. A few coffee shops and local market are all that is within the wall. All of the action is on the outside. Took a stroll along the beach and river. Again, very little in the way of cafés and restaurants. The few that are there are pricey. We hope to find more as we settle in for the week. 🙏Les mer

    The Medina

    2. september 2024, Marokko ⋅ ☀️ 27 °C

    We are getting to know this Medina, and where to go for coffee, lunch and dinner. Lunch can be a simple but tasty meal of flat round bread, stuffed with a choice of fish, potatoes, tomato and onion, eggplant, eggs etc. We also found Hassan Roast Chicken. Delicious.Les mer

    Road to Marrakech

    6. september 2024, Marokko ⋅ ☀️ 38 °C

    It’s not a Bing Crosby Bob Hope film, but it should be. Out of our Riad, grabbed a taxi straight away, and to Salè train station with 90 minutes to spare. 😳. One thing I have noticed is the amount of gum trees along the rail corridors. This landscape in many ways looks identical to the dry Australian outback.

    From the train, we catch a glimpse of the Zaha Hadid National Theatre and the still under construction Mohammed VI Tower before the landscape changes heading inland: https://www.tiktok.com/@explore.with.lynne/vide…    Les mer

    Medina Night Market

    12. september 2024, Marokko ⋅ ☀️ 33 °C

    At dusk we head to the Medina. Lynne is doing a tour where she gets her hand Henna’d. When this is finished (only cost about $7. ), we take a look at the main square. Lots going on with monkeys and snakes. We didn’t engage as even looking at them gets their handler asking for money.

    See the full henna art experience as well as the walk through the Medina here: https://www.youtube.com/live/uJOq8dJ-qdY?si=x8h…    Les mer

    Tangier

    13. september 2024, Marokko ⋅ 🌬 27 °C

    We left Marrakech by plane. Didn’t really want to spend 6.5 hours on a semi air conditioned train. And the cost wasn’t that different. Left at 8.45pm and arrived 50 minutes later. Bit of an ordeal getting to the hotel. Bus from airport, then taxi who didn’t know the way, then walk up the hill into the Medina. 🙄. Anyway, hotel is basic and clean, and right in the middle of the action.Les mer

    The Kasbah

    15. september 2024, Marokko ⋅ 🌬 26 °C

    Up the winding lanes to the Kasbah. Every turn an amazing experience. Outside of Fez, this Kasbah is fantastic. The drop in temperature does help as the Atlantic sea breezes sweep the city.

    Spain

    18. september 2024, Spania ⋅ ☀️ 25 °C

    Disembarked the ferry at Tarifa and straight to a coffee shop for the free wifi. Got our sims sorted then off to the bus stop for the bus to Algeciras. Luckily perfect timing as the bus arrived straight away. 30 minutes later we’re in Algeciras. Taxi to the hotel. And what a hotel. Built in 1903 it has seen its fair share of people, including Franklin D Roosevelt, Winston Churchill and Orson Wells. And the cost only $130. AUD including stupendous buffet breakfast.Les mer

    Seville

    19. september 2024, Spania ⋅ ☁️ 27 °C

    We took a ride share from Algeciras to Seville. About 1.5 hours. Found our little boutique hotel and settled in. Really quite nice and the residence of a bygone flamenco guitarist. Our plan was to head out after siesta time and visit the cathedral. Quite an impressive church. Grabbed a spot at the bar opposite and enjoyed conversation and drinks with fellow travellers.Les mer

    Road to Constantina

    20. september 2024, Spania ⋅ ☁️ 25 °C

    Today we picked up our rental car (we wanted a Fiat 500) ☹️ and headed to a small town called Constantina. About 7000 inhabitants. However, we stopped along the way at a small town Cantillana for lunch. And ended slap bang in the towns main square where a festival was well and truly underway. A Festival of motorbikes revving the bejesus out of their engines and doing scorching laps through the town. 😳Les mer

    The Town

    21. september 2024, Spania ⋅ ☁️ 24 °C

    A nice little town with many little narrow cobblestone streets and pathways. Nice to walk, but stressful driving through! Walking around you find little shops you never knew existed, even when you have walked by several times. It seems shops generally open at 8.00am and close at 2pm. Then reopen at 5pm. However some bars are open through siesta times. We have tried a few Tapas meals at the bar, at around 3.5euros. One particular Tapas was the beef cheeks. Delicious.Les mer
