Visit Morocco

In late 2008 I’d just got married! To celebrate, my wife and I decided to visit Morocco for our honeymoon. And so followed an unforgettable couple of weeks touring the country by train.
We paid tribute to the spirit of Bogart and Bergman at Rick’s Cafe in Casablanca. In Marrakech, we dodged the relentless henna girls and sat with the snake charmers on Jemaa El-Fnaa plaza. In fact, that square proved so damn beautiful, I even picked up a painting of it from a ramshackle market store run by a local painter.

We also went to the windswept coastal town of Essaouria with its quiet beaches, community of fishermen and elevated fortress. Finally, we treated ourselves to some hiking across the foothills of The Atlas Mountains and their gorgeous waterfalls.
