On your surf instructor course there will be some days you wont be able to surf. The waves can be either to high and dangerous (starting the course you will not be an expert yet!) or there might be a day with what we call baby waves. Also no good.

On these days we take you on excursions. And when in Morocco you have to visit Marrakesh. A hectic city, once in the souks (small and windy shopping streets where you will get lost) you find yourself in a different world.

It reminded me of the middle ages, not that I was around then, but I can imagine it would have been like that.

Donkeys to carry the goods, all little stalls with food, fruit, spices, goats, lizzards. The only way you know you are in the now is because you have to jump on the side of the small streets every now and then when a motorbike wants to pass you, and because everything is expensive.

Despite what you might think, Morocco´s number one tourist attraction is certainly not cheap!

So keep your money in your pocket, or try to haggle (Oliver of xtreme gap is a master in this and wrote a guide book on how to haggle.

Your senses will be treated though! I am sure you will love it. Very impressive too is the big square. Jamaa el Fna it is called. During the day you find men in dresses showing of their snakes and charging you to go on a photo with the long and scary creatures, and you will find lost of stalls with delicious fresh orange juice and fresh Moroccan spices, and in the evening it turns in to a fairy tail with lost of lights and great food stalls.
