Moroccan Memories

September 6, 2010 by Dave20 Comments

Its always nice to re-live travel memories through others – my brother is in Europe and north Africa for about 6 weeks. Currently he’s in Morocco having a blast riding camels in the searing heat of the Sahara Desert. I was in Morocco a few years back and had a great time, other than buying too many overpriced rugs. I’ll be back in north Africa in a few weeks.

    Never been there. Always wanted to. Do you recommend Morocco?

    All the best, Boonie

    Hi Boonie – I would recommend Morocco – its a country that defintely will stimulate the senses. Keep in mind it can be a bit crazy in some of the cities and especially the old parts of town (medina)- vendors, animals, motorcyles trying to navigate etc. But there is lots to see from the Sahara, to the Atlas mountains to all the history.

    You can visit either as an independent traveler or with a group. Most people fly into Spain or Portugal and then take the train down and ferry through Gibralter.

    Hola ZM – no problemo. Lo siento por mi Espanol. Si yo vivo en Europa me hablan muchos idiomas pero en Los Estados Unidos, es Ingles o posible Espanol.

    Buenos suertes por las viajes 🙂

    Hi Libby – my brother John travels almost as much as I do. He runs his own reservation company for B&B’s thus he can work from anywhere in the world. He loves Europe and always takes 6 weeks to 2 months there every year. Traveling or sailing.

    How long are you in the Netherlands for? I almost made it there on my latest trip.

    I have a wine website too, and thanks for joining my site!

    I love to travel, and am going to Spain soon, so I will be sharing those. We thought about going down into Morocco, but its so much time as it is traveling the whole of Spain. One day thought, one day!
