j + j travelblog

• The landscape - surprisingly varied and strikingly beautiful
• Prices - cheap, cheap, cheap!
• Mint tea - yum, yum. Fresh mint leaves right in the cup! They call it "Moroccan whiskey" - hee hee
• Marrakech - Colorful city with beautiful gardens, busy markets and loads of energy
• Moroccan sweets - We probably indulged in these a bit too much. The chewy nougat sold in Fes, the delicious pastries of Marrakech. DEEEE-licious!
• Trains - Since a lot of our travel days are l-o-n-g ones, we always appreciate expeditious and timely transportation. And Moroccan trains get props for that!

Stuff falling somewhere on the amusing/annoying/disturbing scale:

• Pollution - it can be a bit rough on the respiratory system, to put it lightly
• Kamikaze moped drivers - these freaks flooded the streets!
• Lack of liquor - where can you get a drink in this town?!?!?
• Touts/hassle - I think the hassle is directly proportional to the number of carpet salesman there are in any town ;)
• Lack of variety in menu options - The steamed vegetables are delicious. Do you want them with coucous or without? With meat or without? That's about the range.
