Two forgotten photo's from Marrakech

Yessss finally an update!
But I am afraid I have to disappoint you, since these are only two photo's from Morocco.
No new exciting stories of Turkey, Georgia, Azerbaijan, nor Iran.

I haven't found much time, nor inspiration to write new stories, but I hope I can share some hot news soon!

But first these two photo's I forgot to put online.
The big square in Marrakech. During the day it's an 'empty' place, with guys playing the flute making their snakes stand straight, and other people selling their stuff, and ofcourse the unforgettable motorcycles and moppets.
During the night, you won't recognize the sqaure from the way during the day...it's completely transformed into one big restaurant. Only eateries, smoke, loads of different smells, and if you allow yourself, very good tastes! It is difficult to walk from one side to the other side without sitting down, as each eatery have their guy standing and waiting for you asking to sit down and have some food. You say no thank you? They didn't hear you, or pretend to and ask you again. You're already past him? No worries, there is a next guy half a meter further away asking you :)

It is, like Milko says, a Shpectacular to see the place by evening, as it's all dark, but strong lights as if you are at a building side. A lot going on, many people, and the smoke makes it's a brilliant place. If you take some time, I am sure you can take the most beautiful action shots here!

Crossing the Mediterranean sea

Yet, I have never made my way to Africa, but soon you can find my footprints also in the deserts of Morocco. Morocco is a complete different destination than all the other trips I have made so far.
Two years ago, my curiosity for Morocco started growing. This country started climbing higher in my list of places where I want to go. Last year in November, it made a huge jump forward on this list when I received an email from Paulo, a friend from Manchester who travelled with his girlfriend to Morocco. What I really like about his trips is that afterwards he always writes his friends a very long email with all his travel stories, including tons of photo's! His experience and the beautiful photo's made my curiosity for Morocco grow even bigger.

Today I have booked two more flights. Flight #1 from Madrid to Marrakech. Flight #2 from Nador to Barcelona. Nador is a city in the north east of Morocco, while
