Day 18 - Beach, Agadir Souk and Ella's party night! We set of with yoga before breakfast. Ella's group on the sun terrace of the Riad, and Rachel's group at Cli yoga lounge. Breakfast was as good as always! We got all packed up for surfing at Plage K 17. To be honest, I am so ready for home now, I had no intention of surfing! I laid around all morning on the beach. Most of the group surfed. We had the nomadic tea/coffee man passing by periodically, which kept us all happy! Lunch was delivered; it was not so good today, spam salad sandwiches followed by fruit and biscuits. I did manage a half of one, but it wasn't good! At 3pm we packed up the surfing gear to go to the souk. We passed ... read more

Day 17 - Hmmm, breathe... And chill out, again Another late arrival for breakfast, but along with most today! Last night was a late, drinking night at the beach for the group. But to be fair, they all look ok! Some made it up for yoga too! After breakfast, I went to the sun terrace for a sunbathing session, a bit of background music, and a coffee, or two! I was joined by Linda, Sophie and Laura. Ella is doing her usual clean sweep of the studio, and her administration. Later today, Ella is doing massages for some of the group later. As flexibility is the click here, Lynda, Sophie and Laura all got their massages done this afternoon. I managed to have a shower, and wash my hair whilst there was hot water available, before ... read more

Day - 16 Dare I say it.... Another relaxing day! I got up late this morning! I wasn't actually late for anything, just up late for me whilst in Morocco! I woke up at 8.30. Ella and the group went for a 10k run on the beach, then finished off with an hour of yoga at Cli before breakfast. .... Whilst I was sleeping! I got to breakfast 10 minutes late, but no one really noticed! After breakfast the group prepared to go to Paradise Valley for the day. Three of us, Virginie, Rachel, and myself have all opted out. Virginie is a French lady that I have had the pleasure of spending time with since my return to Cli. She is 13 years younger than me, but yvenjoyedefinitely on my wavelength in many ways; apart ... read more

Day 15 - Cleaning day, the move and the beach at Devil's Rock I got up this morning all ready to do the yoga class; but it wasn't to be! I met Larsen, he told me that I needed to be out of my room after breakfast. I quickly rushed back to my room to pack my stuff! I managed to get it done I. About twenty minutes, but knew I would be too late for the yoga class! I decided to go up and take some photos for Ella. As I got to the staircase, there was one of the group looking really worried, he wanted to join the group but daren't go up late! I took him up, he was able then to join in. I took a few pictures, then went down for ... read more

Day 13 - Back in Taghazout, Cli Surf, just chilling! I arrived last night, dinner was good, more salad and tagine! I slept well as always. I am back in my old room too! I'm feeling very much at home here! The table was full at breakfast; two of the German lads and Huan are still here, there is a new German girl, in addition to the new arrival of 14 people from Hull University. It feels strange that the majority of the group are from my home town! They all prepared for their surfing day, I hung back with Ella, she's doing her 'emails, and admin work' and I am very happy to be chilling! The sun is out, it's warm, no pressure, no deadlines, no rush for anything..... And breathe. Yes, that's the only ... read more

Day 12 - Leave Marrakesh, return to Taghazout, Agadir My roomy Heather left very early this morning, practically in the middle of the night. Sorry Heather, I simply could not wake up, but I do have a vague recollection of you leaving. Silence is golden! I had breakfast with a mix of people this morning. We all met to say our final farewell to Khaled, I've been calling him Haled the whole time! He's been a great CEO, GADV did well again, as always! Everyone is going off in different directions today due to leaving at different times. It was sad to say goodbye to Sarah and Cy, I gave got on with them both really well over the time here. Also Gary, and, 'there's my gal' Jocelyn. With all four of them; lived the chats, ... read more

Day 4 - More yoga and surfing I had to use the alarm to get up this morning, all of this strenuous activity is starting to catch up with me! Yoga started at 8am, but I went up to the studio Carly to do a few sun salutations to prepare me for the yoga! I am so sore.... All over. I am feeling the effects of having such a long break from yoga! I didn't feel so had as everyone else is also really feeling the pain! I struggled through, but I still have to say, I did feel better for making the effort! We went for breakfast, all good as usual! We were joined by another German lad last night, so now there are 5 in their group. Larsen took me to buy my bus ... read more

Day 3 - more surfing and the souk Another really good nights sleep. When I'm away, I feel so free and relaxed, that I nearly always sleep really well. I was up at 7.30am, this morning we are doing a yoga class with Ella. I'm worried, I haven't done any yoga for about 18 months! The yoga session was such a rude awakening for me! I seem to have lost my flexibility, abs ceased up! I struggled this morning, but felt better for making the effort. It does help bent in such a beautiful surroundings. Yoga was swiftly followed by breakfast. Again, I enjoyed the breakfast, but I always do. I think breakfast s my favourite meal of the day! No matter here I am in the world. We got out surfing gear ready to go ... read more

Day 2 - Cli Surf and Yoga House I rose early this morning at 7.30am, after a solid nights sleep. I took myself up to the rooftop yoga lounge... With a cup of tea! Not to do yoga! It is amazing up there; it's 4 stories high with tall windows on all four sides, so it offers a panoramic 360 degree view of Taghazout. It's just what you need to start your day. There was no one else around; it is so peaceful. I went for a shower and got myself organised and ready for my first full day in Morocco. At about 8.30 other people started stirring. I noticed that some breakfast elements had started to be prepared and the table was now set. The first person I met was Huan. He is from northern ... read more

Day 1 -Travelling to Morocco ..... And breathe! Got up to the alarm at 6.45 in the Nanny loft. What a night it was... The rain lashed against the window, which made me smile as there is definitely going to be sun tomorrow for me, was running through my mind. Beth practically flew out f the door with Thea at 7.30, whilst I peered out, looking for Donna, who kindly agreed to dropping me off at the train station this morning. Donna arrived in good time, but the excess morning traffic and not being able to se the bus lanes.... Really don't help our journey! We made it with 7 minutes to get on the train. I had no sooner got on when the doors shut! Looking forward to another trip! Nearly at Manchester Piccadilly; its ... read more
