Called us by the name of the country we were from. :) Lots of great information about the history and Muslim culture. When the Tombs had an hour line, he let the group vote on if we wanted to wait or see the souks. Took us to a very interesting part of it that we had not seen before. Very enjoyable 4 hrs!”

Het is een lange maar geen onaangename rit. Onderweg een stop voor eten en drinken. En nog een stop voor ons om de Berber bevolking te bezoeken, die argon olie maken. Mooie producten, Leuk interessant en ook dit even meegepikt. Daarna door naar Essaouria, Hier kun je heerlijk winkelen en door de straatjes en marktjes dwalen. Geen overweldigende drukte maar gewoon gezellig. Bij de haven rondgelopen. De oceaan met wilde golfen bekeken heerlijk gewandeld lekker bijgekomen op het terras, Rond 4:30 uur…”
