Where is Moglander 30 Jan 2012

We are in the Atlas mountains, which are spectacular this time of the year. Still working on the photos! We are hoping to travel further south over the next couple of days, and to get to see some sand!

Anyone feeling blue?

Morocco is a very visually inspiring place. Some spots are just like home, where agriculture is the main way of life, and it’s the same tractors, ploughs etc, but most of it is so different it’s a feast for the eyes. We spent a few hours in the town of Chefchaouen, where we took these photos in the narrow streets. The non-town photos are from the road from Chefchaouen to Fes, which is over the Rif mountains where the main local crop is weed. And the main pastime is trying to sell it to tourists.

Our first decent drive in Morocco was fantastic. The trip through the Rif mountains was superb, The scenery is amazing, the roads superb and the views awesome. It’s a wild drug growing region, and every tenth person tried to flag us down to buy drugs of some kind. At least they did it with a smile!

Apart from the girls frightening a donkey while making a quick stop behing a bush, all seemed to go well.

Well, after a false start which involved getting taken off a ferry as we were too big, we finally got to Morocco. It’s an awesome place, and been super so far. This is where we’ve gotten to.

And one for Stuart

We have a great buddy, Stuart, whose hat is travelling with us. This hat is only allowed to be photographed in interesting places, and with interesting people. And as Stuart is one of the most interesting people you could hope to meet, I really hope that we make sure his hat gets to places that would meet with his approval.

We’ve stayed on 2 camp sites “proper” so far. both in Spain, and both good in different ways. The first one was so clean, tidy and clinicly perfect it was amazing Underfloor heating throughout the buildings, with Laundry, dog washing rooms, spa’s. doctors appointment rooms etc, but with rules about what you can and cannot do like you would not believe!

and then we had a night in a busier spot. Where folks usually stayed for years! They really did move in!


but in this campsite, we met one of the nicest guys we have met on this trip. He had the coolest spot, and the coolest camper. So, this is the spot for Stuarts hat!


This camper belongs to Niels, who is a long term wheeled house resident. His bus is his home, and he has an amazing job done on it.

 

This is not Niels first vehicle, he has been published before, and has his own website. Oh, and the color photos are for Adrian, who would’nt like me to get to pretentious by posting black and white photos all the time 🙂
