Today we woke up and I rallied the troops to go to Paradise Valley Anders drove and we got some bananas in Banana, the next town over. The valley with its scrabbly bushes, red cliffs and sand reminded me so much of Australia and I felt super connected to it. It was a 40 minute drive and 20 minute walk to the valley and we crossed rivers and bushland. When we got to the valley the water was refreshing and I enjoyed swimming to the other side of it and lying on a rock in the sun. When I got back the British lads were there with sandwiches and then some of the guys jumped off the cliff. It was really a smart move going in the morning because at about 14:00 the sun went behind ... read more

So today was a sad day as the Norwegian girls left and they were so nice I enjoyed their company. I was feeling energised in the morning though and wanted to go to the Souk markets in Agadir about 40 minutes away from Taghazout. You can share taxis with other locals and get there quickly and cheaply. I bought, leather shoes, headphones, 8 pairs of socks, two pairs of jeans, mugs and salt and pepper holders for the house.

I went with a friend who volunteered at the hostel who was a local which obviously had its benefits I got my clothes for less ... read more

In the morning we drove to Tamre, it was raining and not many people where in the water but we set out with brave faces. After a while we were tired and drank some coffee then we danced on the roof of the boys van, perhaps the rain was making us a little crazy! After Tamre we decided to check out another surf point, I think the name was Boilers, the waves were a bit more gnarly so only one of the lads went out while we practiced our Downward Dog, Warrior and Angry Cat yoga poses on the rocks. After some chilll out time we were all drinking and socialising before heading to Sol bar. The English lads bought almost a whole keg of beer during happy hour so we were all having a great ... read more

On the 17th of January 2017 I flew to Agadir, Morocco. I was scared before boarding my flight but there was no backing out. I was just hoping that I would make it to the hostel ok. I did! The lift I arranged from the hostel was legit and there was a taxi driver with my name written on a piece of paper ready to drive me to the hostel, he was friendly the air was fresh and I loved the change of scenery. Seeing the beach looked fake after being in the mountains for so long and I couldn't wait to be in the water. In no time I was at the hostel chatting and making friends. We had Tangine for dinner, which is meat and vegetables cooked in a ceramic pot. Afterward we decided ... read more
