HEDGEBOY18 - 24 Jan 2001hey cats, guess where i am. No not there, im in marrakesh. I have recovered from my illness and it has taken 8 days to get here. Morocco is VEEEERRRRRY beautiful. Me and alice have been avoiding the snow on the highest peaks wherever possible but we still managed to go into the middle atlas and bust some moves with death defying downhill hairpins with lorries and goats. The people are friendlier too, less rocks and more handshakes. ive been hanging out in some amazing places with cascades and canyons and cattle. There are many many people everywhere i go and camping is sometimes difficult because i attract lots of attention which is not always wanted. Been staying in hotels instead. They only cost about 2 pounds for a night (after a bit of bargaining) and i get to sleep with alice in my room . . . . .which is nice. Sometimes they are so small that i have to stand on the bed to open the door. They often come with bar detailing on the windows and a predominant smell of eggs, all this at no extra cost. But now I have reached this place, an urban jewel with more character and action than you can shake a fedora at. I have actually seen some westerners for the first time in ages, but they are too scared to talk to me. My stove broke some time ago so i have to go and find a new one. I have managed for a week with fires but as the old adage goes . . . . where there is smoke . . . . there is usually a camping cyclist who you can rob. Im off now to get lost in the medina and say bonjour monsieur, ca va? tres bien monsieur ca va? about a hundred times to complete stranges in stripey hats. Wish me luck lots of love (girls) vinni xoxxxx |
