Morocco

Just a quick little update. Morocco has been pretty fantastic and the tour has worked out about as well as you could expect. It is well designed and varied with a good mixture of the cultural, the historical, the recreational and the the retail. The tour leader was excellent and the people all very nice. In Fez we checked out the medina - visiting a caarpet place, a tannery, and a pottery place as well as taking in the general vibe. We visited the Roman ruins at Volublis and also went to Moulai Idress and Mekness. Then it was off to the Sahara. This was great - with highlights including a visit to the women's tent on the first day of a Berber wedding and a camel ride in the desert dunes. After the Sahara we visited Kasbahs of the Todra Valley, went to Marrikech and have now ended up back in Essaouira. The accommodation has been great and I have been eating well. In short I can find no fault with this tour and Morocco is a fascinating place. Plenty of wonderful things. You can check the itineray in a bit more detail here. Its the Deserts and Kasbahs one.

Wish I had time to write more, but things may have to wait to I get a chance to talk to people...
