Morocco is not the kind of place that’s easy to describe in words and pictures. You have to be there to feel the culture and the warm of the people. It's just an amazing place to realize how different are our cultures and to share experiences with everyone.

Well I have just arrived home after 4 great days in Marrakech and boy does it feel cold back in the UK compared to a gorgeous 20 degrees in Morocco.....and in December you can't complain at that! A nice early start from Gatwick got us in Marrakech by 11am (just over a 3 hour flight) and 30 minutes …

If wanting to visit Morocco properly (or most countries for that matter) in a short period of time, I strongly recommend renting a car.  When a friend visited me in for his two weeks of vacation, we hopped in a cheap rental and DROVE EVERYWHERE!  This gave us the leisure to stop and go as…

I was going to meet Marcelle, my travbuddy, at the lobby at 10:00. I have to admit I was not entirely sure she was going to show up… you know, internet friends can be sometimes a bit shy…but there she was! 10:00 sharp! Well done Marcie! The day was wonderful and we decided to walk to the Jemaa…

It may be cliche, but as soon as I arrived in Marrakech, I wanted to start singing Aladdin songs.  "One jump--ahead of the bread line...one swing, ahead of the sword...." I was in for some major culture shock.  I had never been to Africa before, so I was very excited, if a little apprehen…

There is a lot to see and do in Marrakech. It seems the most famous landmark is this minaret.... Ejoyed the drive over during which I got to chat a lot and found out a lot more about my fellow Kumuka travellers. What an interesting and diverse group of women.

Here are some pictures from my trip to Morocco earlier this summer. Hope you enjoy them! Under Construction :)

We finally managed to catch a flight on time and together, with good passports! Marrakesh is a crazy city.  After catching a taxi to a street close to our hotel, in the medina, the driver told us a boy would direct us to our hotel, which was 100m away, for about 3 dirhams (NZD 0.50).  Of…

the sights, the smells, the architecture, the people, the food...awesome.Atlas mountains are in close proximity too

It seems that no self-respecting traveller should call their itinerary substantial unless it includes a stopover in Marrakech, regardless of their length of stay. Looking back over the past decade or so of holiday bookings, this trip easily stands out as one which I've always thought best fits …

This is a lovely hotel. Maybe a little far from the centre for some people but we enjoyed the short walk into town. The Sofitel group are one of the best for providing free room upgrades to members of their loyalty club....a lesson we learned several years ago. Once again, they came up trumps. We h…

We arrived in Marrakech very late at night. We had reserved a rental car for that day but the desk was already closed, so we were left no option but to take a taxi to the hotel we had reserved and hope they were open. We walked a long way past all the construction going on at the airport to whe…
