Rome under Renovation One of the dreams Explorason had at the onset of this trip was to visit The Roman Colosseum. So with some recent changes in our itinerary, this was a surprising place to be but we are surprised to find a lot of Rome under renovation. There it is before us as we […]

Monte Carlo Monaco on our 2nd Travel Anniversary This is our Travelversary! And the start of our 3rd continuous year of world travel. Last year we enjoyed dining out for lunch and it in Bolivia, South America. In one of the poorest towns in one of the poorest countries. And this year we dined overlooking the […]
Nice is Nice – France that is! Airbnb – You can really get some great properties on there, and so did we. So after we have had a rough flight back from Morocco, with Explorason having gastro, we have spent the night in a chain motel in Marseille, before heading to Nice for our […]
Fabulous Fez or Moroccan Mayhem? In Meknes, we stayed at the fabulous Riad Hiba where the manager kindly organized us a Grande Taxi to take us to Fez. These taxis are Mercedes Benz. They are old. They don’t have air conditioning, and sometimes they don’t have seat-belts working either. Make no mistake; the Riad staff […]
Chefchaouen Morocco is beautifully blue We leave Fez early to head to the bus station in a petite taxi. Here we try to negotiate the price of a Grande Taxi, but being tourists everyone is unfortunately out to rip us off. So we head in to get bus tickets and meet two lovely French Canadian […]
Volubilis and Moulay Idriss, Morocco We have been in Meknes now for a day, and I try where possible to incorporate learning into our travels. In fact, we believe learning should be a natural part of travel, and I am disappointed when others just shop, eat and do the tourist thing. When in a country […]
Treated like royalty at Riad Hiba Meknes Morocco Prior to our arrival in Meknes, the taxi driver rang ahead to this Riad. When we arrived, they sent a man to come and assist us with our bags, and to find the hotel. It is one street off the main road, and right at the […]
Meknes Morocco at Ramadan – what a celebration! The BIG SQUARE as they refer to it in Meknes is the place where all the action is. And today being the day after (or the day after that?) Ramadan is facially over means it is party and celebrations everywhere. Explorason has a rod placed in his […]
The Sahara Desert to ancient Meknes Morocco “Get up”. An abrupt Berber wakes us up and tells us to “get on the camel”. I quickly change into long pants and wash my face, and find my stuff in the dark. I’ve hardly slept, and this camp has no breakfast. We have to be on camels […]
