The Sahara Desert - Morocco

A trip to the desert wouldn't be complete without a ride on a camel. These things are incredibly hard to shoot photos from but!

Crossing The Atlas - Morocco...

UNESCO world heritage site Ait Benhaddou and old fortified castle city of Morocco.
This area of Morocco namely here and Ouarzazate has lent its scenery to some pretty hefty Hollywood films such as Gladiator, Babel, Body of Lies, Lawrence of Arabia, Alexander, Prince of Persia, The Hills Have Eyes, The Mummy and heaps more!

Sturdy stuff bricks of mud and straw...
Everything is built out of these bricks.

Essaouira - Morocco...

Meat refrigeration is not yet a learned thing in Morocco, yet a couple of the lads thought it was a great idea to by some lovely sausages from a local butcher for dinner one night, they paid the price as did the toilet bowls they graced for the following 4 days...
Who would have thought raw meat sitting in the sun and open air all day long fermenting in the skin of a sausage could make a person sick....

Well... I had an inkling haha suckers!

The Atlas Mountains - Morocco

Mad Mosaic Maze of Marrakech Morocco...

Djemaa el Fna of a day with clouds that looked like they were just painted into the sky.

Merdersa Ben Youssef - A very old Islamic School in Marrakech founded in the 14th century, has some of the most amzing Saadian art/architecture I have seen!

I'm no tradie by any means but even I can tell there is something funny going on with this guys brickwork... Maybe a little too much Moroccan hash for breakfast...

I've been living lost in translation for 7months now yet signs like these still crack me up. Reminds me of the Beanstalk coffee sessions where Riccardo was always too scared to use the bathroom in case a pretty girl would go in straight after, therefore he would run across the road to Thirroul Library to tend to his business. Coffee and Ricci's morning poo seemed to combine more often than necessary... Secrets out now Ric sorry bud. Ha!

Morocco's famous dish the Tajine, eat these daily in Marrakech, the chicken with lemon and olives is pretty hard to pass up.

Stall keepers of Djemaa el Fna will haggle you from behind the safety of their large variety of fruits, nuts and impressive stacks of oranges. The hagglers outside the squares makeshift restaurants were always a laugh, they knew bits and pieces about every country that tourists could be from, they pulled out kangaroo shagger and a bunch of quotes from Summer Heights High on me and I was impressed! One haggler was the happiest guy ever and we couldn't work out why he was so happy to be running around heckling the tourists then we noticed the hash joint he had discretely tucked away in the palm of his hand, we asked him about it and he straight up told us "How else can I smile and do this job?" Smoking yourself insane to stay sane is not as crazy as it might sound...

Djemaa el Fna - Marrakech

Djemaa el Fna which can translate to Assembly of the Dead in Marrakech of a night time is pretty insane. Snake charmers, Barbary Ape keepers, Magicians, Muscians, Story Tellers, Boxers, stall after stall of orange juice and every food you can think of, lambs head no problem sir we have plenty! The square of Marrakech definitely worth a look. We stayed on the square for dirt cheap, pretty sure we paid actually nothing for the accommodation as it was heinous but it did offer a balcony that overlooked the square which of a night time that was invaluable.

Moroccan Sunsets

The west coast of any country host my favourite kind of sunsets.
Morocco was no different.
