A rather hilarious week away to Marrakech by Nicktor and me.

Farewell to Marrakech

Posted on February 12, 2014 by Gary

There were Christmas carols playing at Marrakech airport while we waited for our plane home. I don’t know why. It was an odd way to end our Moroccan week. And we had a female captain on our plane home. I … Continue reading →

Ait-Ben-Haddou

Posted on February 11, 2014 by Gary

I’m sure the streets of Spain were ringing with great happiness and relief today. Noise usually associated with fiesta would have rung out throughout the country. Why? Because the Most Annoying Boy in Spain was out of the country. How … Continue reading →

When Nicktor ate couscous

Posted on February 6, 2014 by Gary

What a marvellous day we’ve had. Nicktor’s dislike from last night has been completely replaced with a new fascination for all things Moroccan. That may be a slight exaggeration. He wasn’t that keen on the barely grilled capsicum we had … Continue reading →

The Marrakesh Express

Posted on February 5, 2014 by Gary

This just annoyed me so I don’t blame anyone for ignoring it…I read this today. I thought Christ was all about love. It has nothing to do with Marrakesh (or Marrakech as some spell it). Nicktor arrived around 11:30 and … Continue reading →
