Back from 3 weeks in Morocco in April (page 4 of 10)

Here’s a charming arrangement made by the young people in the palm grove. We didn’t have enough roses left to replace the flowers every morning, but dried flowers and fresh ones blend together beautifully. And the scent is still very much there.

Another great week to enjoy all these little pleasures. Have a nice Sunday.

So you're heading back at the end of the month, just before Ramadan. Have a great day.

Looks like the loop is closed this time. Nice loop. Thanks a bunch.

So you're coming back at the end of the month, just before Ramadan. Have a good day.

I'm coming back just after Ramadan starts. I think it begins on Friday.

Where on Saturday?

Yes, today is Saturday when Ramadan started.

I really enjoyed reading this travel journal... It's varied and interesting. Thanks. And the photos... stunning. Thanks

Surprises in Marrakech. Asian-style caps and tuk-tuks have made their appearance.

Yes, Chinese goods have taken over Morocco. So, back already?

Yes, back since yesterday. The sun is shining. All is well.

Do you have a travel journal in the works? You’ve got us hooked. We’re waiting now!

No, not a travel journal this time. Apart from a few details, there wouldn’t be much new to share.

Oh well, too bad for us.

Oh well, too bad, because we really enjoyed reading the travel journal from last autumn. Let’s hope Hannah shares her trip with us. Fingers crossed!

Hey Dominique,

I’m feeling super lazy, but I’ll put together a relaxed travel journal. On the roads of the South, there’ll be the little critters that live down there: squirrels and whip-tailed lizards, a granary, pre-desert landscapes, the Anti-Atlas architecture I love so much, and the small towns I adore. In short, the South. But I can’t figure out how to transfer photos directly from my iPad to the VF forum. I must’ve missed something. If anyone can guide me, that’d be awesome. So, double the hassle—transferring from my memory card to the computer, then organizing—even though everything’s ready on my iPad, sorted by day. See you soon on those beautiful southern roads.

Hang in there... Once you get going, it’s smooth sailing. For the technical photo side, I won’t be much help—I really struggle to upload photos, the format gets rejected a lot. Tricky, tricky. Sometimes.

Thanks for the photos—they’re original and absolutely stunning. Did you do the whole trip by car, I assume?

Deborah

Hi Deborah,

Yes, we did everything by rental car, leaving from Marrakech and returning to Marrakech. We’ve lost count of how many trips we’ve taken to Morocco, and it’s always a real pleasure. That’s definitely the joy you can see in the photos. Have you been to Morocco?

Hi Trostang

Yes, I know Morocco a little—Rabat, Casa, Marrakech, Taroudannt, Essaouira... We’ve spent two longer stays in Fes and the surrounding areas (Meknes, Sefrou, Azrou, etc.) and another between Tangier and the Rif (Chefchaouen and mountain villages).

That said, I don’t drive, so we rely on public transport (buses, shared taxis). I’m wondering if we could reach some of your beautiful spots using public transport?

Also, you have a great eye for taking beautiful photos—I’ve never been very good at that! Best, Deborah

Of course these sites are accessible by bus, at least the drop-off points like Tafraoute or Skoura. Once you're there, besides the discoveries you can make on foot in the Amelnes Valley or in the SKOURA palm grove, day trips can be arranged for you. In Morocco, there are always solutions. Don't hesitate if you have any questions.
