Came back from a two week trip to Morocco yesterday..was travelling around a bit. Here are some pics from HOT Marrakech....45 degrees celsius everyday..
Also traveled to the Atlas mountains and fishing town Essaouria.
I think I'm in love...with Morocco! :lust So many colors, interesting places, nice people and photo opportunities.

Marrakesh, the souks and Djemaa el Fna (The big square where you can find magicians, snake charmers and story-tellers and a lot more..:

Essaouira a fishing town on the Atlantic coast, a paradise for hippies in the sixties, among others Jimi Hendrix visited here -
"The town of Jimi Hendrix" I heard more then once from Moroccans trying to sell something to you..;) I really do recommend this beautiful pretty much unexploited place.
