Tangier: ... and wasn't it nice when we were still kids?

Sometimes I wish I was still a kid... Things, life was so much easier... Your parents took care of everything and you could just play with your friends, jump over the waves on the beach... enjoy yourself...

Tangier: and the 'Grottes d'Hercule'

The 'Grotte d'Hercule' is also worth paying a short visit... but mostly to observe how young men plunge into the clear water from the cliffs...

Tangier - Ceuta (Sebta): ... and a stunning sunset with view on Gibraltar

Have you ever taken the time for over an hour, to watch the sun go down?

You haven't? Then you surely miss something...

A very good place for this is along the coast, coming from spanish Ceuta and driving towards Tangier. The views are magnificent. If you are lucky you can even see Gibraltar from there... So we took the picnic-blancket out from our car and placed ourselves at the steep coast... doing nothing then watching the sun go down... beautiful...

Chefchaouen: ... and in how many blue-shades can a house be painted?

Chefchaouen... a 35.000 inhabitant village in the north-east of Morocco... not far from Tétouan in the rif-mountains. This is another city you shouldn't miss when travelling in Morocco.

It's incredibly beautiful with its steep narrow lanes and its doors, walls and even the floor painted in all kind of blue-shades you can possibly imagine. And also here I can recommend the same: better come around in spring or autumn... we had wonderful 42 degree last sunday...

Casablanca: Fantasia horse festival

The 'Fantasia' is a very traditional and cultural festival in Morocco and it's the first time that I have seen such a thing! It was incredible...
20 horsemen or so - grouped according to their tribe and dressed up in the tribe's emblem - line up closely next to each others and dash all together by command of their chief towards the spectators, just to brake a few seconds later and to shoot a blaze of gun-fire from their 'moukhahla' - which definitely is ear-battering...
As soon as one 'wave' of riders has finished, the next tribe is already waiting to perform...
