"Travel will lengthen the life, full of faces and landscapes, sounds and songs and that they were unaware of horizons. Do you know of cowards who have to live very brave, courageous men and forced to live as cowards. Your old ideas and collapse they are born again. And travel is dancing, as rightly say Chichewa, adjust your pace to that of the other, turning in a vacuum following sounds and rhythms that you did not know, everything is not deaf to the melody of a song until then Unknown. "

- Javier Reverte - (Wanderer in Africa)



20. 11. 2010 Casablanca (Morocco)

We finally set foot in Morocco!
Customs controls were very slow and nerve-wracking ...

Unfortunately we can not live Casablanca by night but due to time already wandering the streets of the city made me feel alive!


21. 11. 2010 Meknes (Morocco)

I guess old sailors and sailors from the Atlantic Ocean and suddenly come to be enchanted by the charm of the majestic Hassan II Mosque, luxuriant and gigantic, dominated by a promenade that runs along the ocean.

We leave immediately for the capital Rabat.

The taste of Rabat I was disappointed, I wanted to visit this great city of the Maghreb.
The royal palace with its order, the royal guards in full uniform, the Mosque of Mohammed V, the Kasbah of Medina Oudaïas but especially with its souq.

The souq always have a certain charm ... Thousands of labyrinthine alleys inspired by countless people who sell, buy, bargain, deal ... So many different smells, so many colors that alternate.
La Kasbah, the ancient gate, struck me for its white-blue, Santorini-style ... Those alleys so narrow but delicious, with many picturesque views of the majestic ocean again which decorated.

The visit of Meknes was very interesting, made so well from the explanations of our guide Bouchra.
Yesterday Bouchra Meknes, Fes Khadija today, gave me an idea and a picture of Moroccan women is completely new. You breathe in the air this social change. See how aggressive, prepared and proud.

In Meknes we visited the medrasa, barns, stables Ismail, we got lost in his intriguing souq to end the dinner in a traditional Riad Bahia. Typical dinner of appetizers with chickpeas, eggplant and peppers, cooked with chicken tajine and so on.
The background was very ethnic and helped to create a gentle atmosphere so as to make us spend a pleasant evening.

22. 11. 2010 Fes (Morocco)

Khadija us to know his hometown.
The souq is really complicated!

The thing that upset me, especially to my nostrils, was the tannery.
See all those guys with the body immersed in these circular tanks that have a putrid smell so strong and nauseating enough to convince us to use the sprigs of mint to find some 'relief.

The madrasa: the Koranic school where children are studying the Islamic holy book for 30/40 years.
Schools nicely decorated and very old!

[Nick]: "The initial skepticism for a desired departure time has turned into joy for yet another road trip."

This place is very basic, but we like that!
The evening was made memorable by bongo played by the youngsters of the place and bring my guitar!

Fun playing the classic Italian Berber involving the boys and their bongo.
