Mischief in Morocco

Here are a few pics from our trip to Morocco. This was the beginning of the African journey for us. We had both finished up at our respective jobs and were itching for some adventure, which we received by the bucketful.

Interesting characters
Some up close and personal communication between some Marrakech locals

Little donkey
The donkey carries the weight of Morocco on its shoulders, literally.
These poor buggers are the prime mode of transport carrying phenominal weights around

Tannery
The smell from the tannery was overpowering, the animal skins are being worked, soaked & dyed to make some of the worlds finest leather.We carried sprigs of mint with us to sniff, to take the edge of the smell of carcasses whilst we dodged the crafty salesmen

Our laneway
This laneway gave us access to our accommodation. Pretty scary at night time.

Freshly squeezed OJ
Available everywhere for next to nothing, absolutely delicious!

Christo and the seagulls
We were just outside of the fish markets and there were so many seagulls scavenging for food.

Local produce
These vats of olives scattered around Essaouirra are a great source of visual delight. They taste damn good too!

Horseback on the beach
We passed some wild camels during our horse ride on the beach, this one appears to be suffering from scurvy or somethin!.

Horseback on the beach
This huge beach in Essaouirra was virtually deserted, leaving it free for us to get these horses galloping in full flight along the beach

Tannery
All the different dying pots for the leather

Peppermint tea with a little bonus
The chic beverage in Morocco, available absolutely everywhere made from fresh mint leaves.

Sunset over Marrakech
This main square in Marrakech is an absolute assault on the senses
