Back from Skoura (Morocco) (page 16 of 18)

It's a kind of "initiation journey." Humanitarian work isn't the main goal.

Students aren't the only ones taking part in this kind of "adventure." There are also all-female crews of all ages. I read about this in the press recently.

You're right—the so-called "humanitarian" rally business is very much alive, under various pretexts and with plenty of participants. The 4L Trophy was launched by a school of "grocer-traders," and off they go.😕 We're even starting to see them in Europe now—they "bring" school supplies to Albania, Hungary, for example... the height of traveler absurdity with this Europe Raid in a 205. A "cultural and solidarity" tour of Europe 20 countries in 23 days and 10,000 km—what a way to "discover" countries, more like a marathon of empty talk. Given the money the organizers rake in, they have to get creative to keep the scheme going. If the participants really wanted to do something humanitarian, they could each sponsor a school in Morocco with their registration fees and stay home instead.

Absolutely. .

Any new travel plans for the coming year?

We're thinking about the Crème for September. But nothing's set in stone yet.

La Crème?

It was Crete... And this March, it’ll be Morocco again. So I’m browsing the forums. And I just came across this question I’d missed.

Oh, Crete! Of course! I’d completely forgotten about that question for so long! Have a great trip to Morocco... I’ll be heading back there soon too.

When’s the big return?😉

We haven't booked our tickets yet, but it'd be late March or early April. That's usually a good time.

As planned!!! Which region of Morocco are you thinking of for this little two-week trip? We’re also getting ready for another adventure.

We didn’t book anything. But we’re planning to head to the Atlantic coast.

Good luck with your prep then, and keep us posted. See you!

We're thinking of heading to the coast between Essaouira and Asilah. Maybe you have some tips and good spots to share? Thanks!

Hi Dominique,

Make sure to stop by Oualidia on the lagoon....

Noted. Thanks Hannah.

A real treat to eat spider crabs on the beach—the fishermen set up little tables and grill them right in front of you.

I also ate sea urchins and small langoustines there. And being seated on the beach, with your feet in the sand, is amazing!!!

My mouth is watering! We’re gonna feast! Thanks! I’ll think of you when my feet are in the sand!

Hi,

I had some great photos but I can’t find them—what a shame. I’ll be in Morocco in mid-March and early April. 😎
