Marrakech is a bit nuts… Aparently there’s about 500 scooters here to every one car. And it shows – crossing the road is a nightmare! And then there’s driving our big van about the place…..
Still – we’ve been here for about 4 days now, and becoming used to it all – it’s actually a great place to spend some time! As we’ve spent a bit more time in one place we’ve been able to take in the sights without too much of a rush..enabling us to absorb it a bit more and, dare I say it, relax!
We have also been doing some work – sourcing a hotel for our guests for the next couple of weeks trips we’re running here. And we’ve now managed to finalise our route: Canadian Dave McDougal is helping us out on that one – he’s been running trips here since ’98 – so knows the place like the back of his hand. Land-Rover support/uplift, unused miles of singletrack on the downs… Can’t wait.
The first trip is getting underway on Saturday – expect some awesome photos and videos up here in a couple of weeks!
In the mean time – here’s a link to some pics from our relaxed sight seeing tours of the city…
p.s. we did spend a couple of nights in Rabat.. it’s a good place to get used to the hustle, but not worth too much of your time – Marrakech is where it’s at.
