The order has got messed up again as I uploaded twice; and cant be botheed to arrange pics: Start halfway down and itll make sence:
Anyway kite surfing is massive here due to the constant trade winds blowing offshore: My new sport is going to be kite surfing...maybe another excuse to go abroad
The previous guys Id lmet in Fez had actually made their own kites so had a look at this guys to see if its feasible. Maybe rent our Eype village hall over winter and get sowing::haha
The beach is truly amazing. I spend my days being a beach bum and loving the walks up and down the beach sunbathing. Haver been told Britain is its usual S^#t self so getting as much suin as possible
Their are also sand dunes at the far end. Will do these today; but you can also get camal rides::good for photos if nothing else
Looking out over the terrace. Aesy to see why its a UNESCO site
This is lookinhg towards he beach from this 5 star riad. managed to blag my way to the roof top for these amazing views

This is still Marrakesh: This photo is of the The
Koutoubia Mosque, built in the 12th century taken from our roof terrace
Again taken from the roof terrace. Great time and place for a mint tea
I loved the decor of my room
Finally on the bus to Essaouira. Inbetween is nothing more than arid land with the odd village dotted about; and the ocassional nomad
Okay first night in Essaouira; and straight to the fish stalls sourrounding the harbour. The choice is amazing as is the price. I got the 50DH 4quid menu of a range of shell fish. red snapper and bream i think
2 nice German girls who invied me to their tablme seeing I was on my own. They just paid 150DH for one fish so felt good about my price
Later that evening I ended up at this multi cultural festival for free trying to get Muslin and Jews to coorporate:::a great treat of amazing music. It is however w very tolerant place where Christians; Jews and Muslims all get along
The next day and the photo I should of taken the night before...A fish lovers paradise
Shark and Electric El anyone ....Hate these foreign keyboards::cant get any of the symbols to work
fish fish fish...those prawn looking things I had the night before
This is part of the old harbour looking toward the Medina
A guy in heated debate trying to sell his swordfish
Not sure how they all get out and wouldnt want to be parked near the wall...
Quiz....How many people are in this photo
One for you Dad. Youd love it here as the French had it from 1919 till 1958 I think...sometimes I forget Im in morroco. The cafe culture is pesent. Its also a UNESCO heritag site due to the influences of the portuges and french on this town. It still maintains its unique identity however; and is a thriving port town town. Active in boat making; fishing; water sports; woodwork; especially as a unique ^pine only grow here due to its pollution free atmosphere:::Personal riads are going for 150;000 quid if anyopnes interested::ha
coming through...
there it is
Alsdo the beach is absolutly massive. and football the favourite passtime of all under 30s
I wanted to try and get that scooner in the back in a photo; action shot with sea:. Its one of the best beaches I have seen
looking back towards the Medina...you can see why it was on the hippy trail with the beatles and Hendix all embracing it...could stay here forever...
Any beach is better than West Bay!!
