would love to go to marakesh,seen a few programms on it seem like a nice place

Used to do a fair bit of trade in Marrakesh,.exciting place.   Had some hairy old times in the Desert region and the High Atlas Mountains with the Berbers..   It was emotional....

Was talking to a morroccan lad I work with earlier about getting over there, kif mountains etc.

Went to agadir was great INSIDE the hotel everything outside was a bit Indiana jones all tours went out with armed security!!!

Marrakech was cool but there trying to skin you at every opportunity but lovely place to look about.

This post sounds a bit whingey but I've been about a bit and this place was the worst I've had it even got hassled by a gang of blokes with no legs dragging themselves about on skateboards :)

On your toes is a phrase well used out there but tourists are an easy target but a lively time was had :)

Lad I know used to do regular runs over there in his lorry and he's got some stories to tell!!!

Aha, my brother went last year with his girlfriend, he didn't have any agro with her whatsoever, but when up in the mountains he was offered 30 camels for her! A good price I'm told, he should have done it!!

 

That's more than I can say from crossing into Mauritania from Mali, at the check point some officers took a liking to one of the girls of the trip. . They fleeced us out of money and said weren't leaving the checkpoint until morning, needless to say I didn't sleep a wink that night, but all was fine next morning.
