Marocco
I welcome you to my new blogpost! In March surfing and a huge need for joy carried Benedikt, Marcel and me to Marocco. We had a very good time travelling around and searching, mostly waiting for waves. We met wonderfull people, saw nice places and hmm what more can I say?
I invite you to take part and enjoy my favortite shots of two weeks Maroccan coastline.
All shots beside the coloured one have been taken analog.
 |
| First stop on Maroccan ground. Some vitamines on Marraceshs No 1 orange reamer. |
 |
| Cold and rainy weather welcomed us. |
 |
| But sometimes the sun came out... |
 |
| ... and gave us wounderfull light to explore Marraceshs Medina. |
 |
| We went to visit some ruins. There we go... |
 |
| But there were more exiting things then broken walls. |
 |
| ruins... |
 |
| Back in the medina we met two cool guys owning a shop downtown. They invited us for tea and we had really good topics to talk about. Happy times! |
 |
| And we had a wonderfull view on busy medina life while we could rest inside. |
 |
| A very friendly guy selling us a nice pipe. He spoke amaising german but never left Marocco. |
 |
| Waiting for my buddies... |
|
|
 |

| She is just telling him that three amaising guys arrived in town;) |
 |
| But we had to leave Marracesh in direction coast. For the Trip we had a delicious mix of "La Perles" best olives. |
 |
| Carrying the surfboards an our backpacks was hard work. So we had to rest. |
 |
| Waiting for the Bus. Time for Backgammon! |
 |
| Marcel is kicking the shit! |
 |
| Pit Stop! |
 |
| We made our way to Agadir were we had though bargling action with the taxi dudes. But all kept friendly. |
 |
| In the end, which means after nearly an hour of bargling he offered us to bring us to our final destination... |
 |
| ... Here we go! Welcome to Taghazout. |
 |

| On the third day waves in taghazout dissapeared completly. So we diced to hitchike further down the coastline to check out some other spots... |

| Some shots from walking through Tagazhout. |
 |
| I think I forgot to mention that Tagazhout, or more or less all villages around this area are nice old fisherman villages. |
