So it seems my Wordless Wednesday has slowly morphed into a wordless week!!! I have a list of excuses as long as my arm for not blogging, but wont bore you with the details! One of my New Year’s resolutions was to make a serious attempt at learning a new language, so Monday morning bright [...]

I have longed to go to Essaouira since we arrived in Morocco almost two years ago. So as you may know we finally got to go down that way on New Year’s Day. Well, it was everything people said it was and more! What a gorgeous place, not even the debris on the beach from [...]

Saturday was a strange day, not starting quite as we had planned but turned into one of those days that will be etched into our memories forever!

So needless to say I was delighted when I received a copy of the book, amuse-bouche, by Rick Tramonto for my birthday. [...]

The Camel has a single hump, The dromedary two, Or is it just the other way, I’m never sure — are you? Ogden Nash Well in fact, it is the other way around…the dromedary camel has one hump! Ten years ago, for our honeymoon we went elephant riding in Zimbabwe, so what a better way [...]

The road between Midelt and Merzouga is a wonderful drive through a breathtaking landscape. Close to Er-Rachidia, you can see the turquoise blue waters of the Barrage Hassan Adakhil against the dark brown outcrops of the mountains. You wind your way through the Ziz Gorges, passing derelict Ksours and people going about their lives. Once [...]
