I thought Tetouan was a challenge but this it the steepest town I can remember being in. I can't describe how steep it is. Motor bikes have to change down a gear to get up some hills. When I got here I was going to use a taxi but there were none around so I started to walk. I soon regretted that and stopped to wait for a taxi. They were all taken by the time they got to me. I kept walking. I think I was about half way to the hotel I was looking for and I was knac...

I know I said I was going to Martil but it just didn't happen. To get there I had to come to Tetouan then take taxi so I am staying here for two nights and take taxi to the beach from here.

That's right 1340 square kilometres of Mary Jane.42% of the worlds production i...

We are going down the freeway and there has been a crash and the road is blocked. Everyone is reversing up to the off ramp so we did the same. Not great but sti...

Well what a surprise. I thought civilisation started with the Egyptians and the Romans? Somehow the Egyptians got left behind. They are so third world in so many ways. That has been a shock to me. I expected the usual thing in a country with a big population and it is every man for himself but this is beyond that.They treat their country like a rubbish tip. I remember writing that once before but this is the worst I have seen. It really is a rubbish tip. The t...
