We've recently returned from our Moroccon holiday, and much to our surprise, we didn't really love it. I mean, it was a good break, but it really wasn't what we had hoped for. Why didn't we like it? It wasn't really a relaxing holiday. Everything is a hassle. Walking down the street, you're constantly bombarded to … Continue reading Marrakech + Essaouira
