We've been up to stuff

We may have been MIA with our entries but we've been busy. See some photos below of things we'll be blogging about in the future.

A fountain in the wall of the Hassan II Grande Mosque in Casablanca.

An orange tree in the courtyard of a sublime Casa cafe.

What we did a lot. These are at the train station.

The medina wall in El Jadida dividing the old fortified Portugese town from the new.

Sam performing calisthenics during a paddle in the Atlantic, also El Jadida.

Birds circle the fish grills by the seaside in Essaouira.

Vendors sells freshly squeezed orange juice into the night in the Djemaa el-fna in Marrakech.

Hundreds of food stalls dish out quick meals (if you can manage to grab a seat) in the Djemaa el-fna, Marrakech. This one was serving up sausage links with tomato salsa and bread.

The landmark of Marrakech, the minaret of the Koutoubia Mosque.

Laterns sparkle in a packed stall in the labyrinthine souqs of Marrakech.

Sam enjoys train travel Moroccan-style from Marrakech to Fes.

A tannery worker pulls hides from the dye pits in Fes.

Anne was there too. Enjoying the mountain air in Chefchaouen.

Wheat fields and tourists dot the mountains around Chefchaouen.

Sam and Granma enjoy an English pub lunch in Chistlehurst.

Local teens race horses along the Giza Plateau during our sunrise camel ride.

Some rock piles near Cairo.

Some of what remains of the Avenue of the Sphinxes, which once connected the temples of Luxor and Karnak, Luxor.

The Funerary Temple of Hatshepsut on the West Bank of the Nile River, Luxor.

  1. I would read your Ghana tales feeling quite white with anxiety about the heat and awful food.

    These photos (amazing photos, Anne) have made me green.

    Now I'm blue knowing you'll be in England during my last 24 hours here, yet I won't see you.

    I'm sending loads of colourful kisses and hugs to you across these emerald hills and something courtesy of the red Royal Mail.
