Marrakech, Morocco; Day 6
We left the lovely Old Medina riad today to get our Covid tests and move closer to the airport for tomorrow’s flight to Europe. In no particular order, we had an eating Adventure, a shopping Adventure, a shipping Adventure and a seven dimensional Adventure! No, the Covid tests were not in 7D…they were easy and…
Marrakech, Morocco; Day 5
Today our Adventures took us out of Marrakech to the coastal town of Essaouira (pronounced ess-uh-weer-uh). It’s primarily a port and fishing city. It has a beautiful crescent beach but is also very windy. So it has tourists and some resorts, but it’s not known as a beach destination. Our interest was in seeing an…

The 5 Adventurers had another day of commerce, cuisine and cultural assimilation in the Old Medina.

Casablanca, Morocco; Day 2
We traversed the entire length of the African continent from East to West yesterday but we only gained an hour from the timezone gods.

Today’s travel day had these Adventurers saying farewell to Egypt after three wonderful weeks. Our next destination is Morocco where we will wrap up our two months in Africa and the Middle East. The attractions of Kenya and Egypt are obvious. Morocco wasn’t always on our list but we added it because we wanted to…
