It's been a long bit since my last entry, and a couple of thousand kilometers travelling too!!! and boy, it seems like a long time ago. I ended up spending 9 days in Essaouira, a lovely group of people, and a great bunch that went through it too.

Oh my god this town is lovely, any of you following my Facebook updates will know I've stayed here sooooo long, a full 7 nights tomorrow, then hopefully I'll be away down south, though things seem flexible till the last moment.

This is just a barometer for my mood really, not real travel entry. But I'm full of expectations, urges to take pictures and sip tea (hoping they will serve it without sugar!!!!).
