Morocco

I've just got back from a short ten day stint in Morocco! (View Photos).

I wanted to go somewhere a bit off the beaten track, but also not too far from home, and Morocco seemed to fit the bill at only three and a half hours from London. We initially flew into Marrakech, although traveled up to Casablanca for the first weekend. Returning on the Monday, we then embarked on a four day trip into the Sahara, stopping over in Ouarzazate and Merzouga, in between camel riding, dune trekking and sampling the local 'cuisine'.

On the final weekend we traveled to a coastal town called Essaouira which bares heavy European influences as well as some incredible artists and craftsman selling their wares. Back to Marrakech for our final night in the unbelievable Riad Magi before our return to London.

On some holidays you return with the thought "it's nice to be away, but now it's nice to be home". This definitely wasn't the case on this occasion. Take a look at some pictures here.
