Ships of the Desert

Not only is Morocco home to bustling, ancient cities but its borders also extend deep into the eastern dunes of the Sahara. These are no ordinary dunes either but these are the grand dunes of Erg Chebbi. Here the windswept Sahara is sculpted into hills and valleys of sand, soaring to 150m and stretching on for over 20km.

Marrakech Express

Decided to write my first blog post today. Thought I would start with a bit about my time in Morocco...

Short story is, if you get the chance, go to Morocco. It is a totally different assault on the senses to Europe but it is right on the door step. You can get there dirt cheap, by air or sea. An amazing place to visit.

Long story goes, I was in Portugal, planned to head to La Tomatina in Valencia but it was looking expensive and booked out so overnight bused it to Madrid and flew to Marrakesh.
