Frpm Chefchaouen after some recommendations and no other plans I decided to go to Essaouira. I decided to break the long bus trip up by stopping at El Jidida just to see the water cistern. I only had 30 minutes before the cistern closed for the day and without a tripod it was a little tricky to get a photo in a dark room. Luckily I found some steps...

I have just returned from two weeks of winter sun in Morocco away from constant winter of Scotland. I don't think there are many sights to see as such in most Moroccan cities other than the old medieval medinas themselves. Unfortunately despite the endless interesting people and weathered faces, portraits were difficult to come by due my lack of la...
