The first stop is Palais El Badii. A palace commisioned ... Read more >

There are three types of road marked on our Carte de Touristique Moroc map. The autovia, or A1 freeway, which mere cyclists are not allowed to use. Major secondary roads, of the type we rode along on our first day riding from Tangier to Larache. These ... Read more >

One argument with a customs official and a 35 minute ferry ride, and we are weaving our way through the crowds of Tangiers, where we are repeatedly offered cheap hotels and hashish. 'Welcome to Africa', one would-be guide shrugs when he realises we won't ... Read more >

In the northwest corner of Africa lies a mixed bag of desert sand dunes, mountain peaks, peaceful national parks and manic market places. Morocco is definitely not for the faint hearted - I'd recommend any potential visitor be prepared to get ripped ... Read more >

A dark face, a voice that says many things at once, a complete stranger that seems your closest friend among others that look at you with the same voracity. You end up choosing him over any of them with no time to think through the idea of a thought, ... Read more >

Ramadan, the Muslim holy month of fasting from sunrise to sunset, falls inconveniently in July this year, when the days are longest. Followers of “the one true faith” refrain from eating, smoking and drinking even water, which is especially ... Read more >

The bus from Essaouira to Marrakech was most definitely not the Marrakech Express that Crosby, Stills and Nash sang about. It stopped for ever Abdel, Hassam and Fatima along the way and ended up taking four hot, non air-conditioned hours. ... Read more >

Essaouira was one of those "because we're here" stops, with nothing really special to see. In fact, compared to other places we visited, Essaouira is modern. It was built in the 19th Century on a French plan so the medina is less of a maze.... Read more >

I hope that I will not wrong if I write an informal letter. I admit, it is difficult to write about yourself, especially when you are competing and when you are supposed to be outstanding. What I appreciate in my own being is the constant wish to be everywhere, ...
