Keen to see the 'real' Morocco, we left Agadir after only a few days to catch a bus towards the Sahara Desert. Without the 'Lonely Planet' to rely on, we weren't sure exactly what to do and found ourselves at the mercy of the ruthless local bus depot scoundrels! The moment we jumped out of our taxi, we were quickly ushered to the far end of the station by a shady looking man who kept repeating 'very lucky, the bus leaves in 10 minutes, quickly quickly.'

Our flight from London to Agadir, on Morocco's south coast, was full of a rare breed of English surfers. Luckily for us, we managed to sit next to one keen bean who'd done a bit more research about the place and even had a guide book! We learnt that Taghazout, just north of Agadir, is one of Morocco's most well known areas for surfing, and we also looked up a few essential tips about getting out of the airport, as well as where to stay. We decided to start off o...

These plans fell through when we realised that we couldn't apply for Visas while outside of Australia.. so our sights are now set on working in Canada, who are a bit more sympathetic to our situation. With our bank balances rapidly receding, we only gave ourselves a few more days in England before jetting off to visit a...

We had read somewhere that Windermere was where most of the action takes place, so with nothing else to go on, we headed there. A typical little English countryside village, Windermere sits on the biggest lake in the country, and was also the home and inspiration for many of B...

After bumming around in Sheffield for more than a week, our infinite travel time suddenly became finite and we realised we had only given ourselves five nights to see Scotland. This was made even shorter by the sun, which has developed a frustrating habit of setting before 4pm. Luckily Scotland is a relatively small country so we felt we were able to enjoy the best of it in such a short period of time. We took advantage of our hire car's unlimited milage and dro...
