Swapped the van for a flight and spent the beginning of the month in Morocco for a little sunshine and exploring. I’d only ever been to Marrakesh before, so this trip included a visit to Fez to see the medina and tanneries, a journey through the Tadra Gorge and Valley of the Roses and my first ride on a camel in the desert. I got the baby camel at the end of the train, 3 year old Scooby Doo. It was a gentle and quiet mode of transport and the perfect way to see the sunset. The stars at night from the tented camp were fantastic - so lucky it was clear as the night before it had been cloudy.
Lots of tasty veggie food to try from the markets and in cafes and restaurants, many of which had roof terraces, where at times you would find yourself surrounded by the call to prayer from the mosques. Tagine, couscous, Moroccan pancakes with honey and lots of mint tea in tiny glasses. All delicious!
A country easy to travel around, kind to the budget, has sunny, warm weather in winter and just over a three hour flight from London - what’s not to like? Ever thought of going? Do it!
