In the last few months there have been many changes in our lives, some good and some bad. At the start of the summer we said goodbye to some fellow South Africans that we had met. We also said a very sad goodbye to our Moroccan friends who have moved back to the USA. Our [...]

We love travelling in Africa and there is nothing better than the sights, smells and sounds of arriving in a new country.

Anyone who has travelled with me will probably tell you that the one thing that can cause me a great deal of anxiety is a ferry…..yep, those little ones that cross the Zambezi, can’t stand them, bigger than that even worse!!!

One of my favourite places in Rabat has to be down on the promenade on the banks of the Bouregreg River, where you look up at the Kasbah des Oudaias. It’s the amazing walls of the Kasbah looming over the river… the little boats ferrying people between Salé and Rabat for 1 Dh, the children [...]
