It's been an action packed few days in Barcelona. Rachel and I arrived on Monday night and have been staying at Mikaela's apartment as she finishes up her last bit of uni here. We are staying in the Gracia area which has many food shops and cafes. On Tuesday we did a heap of walking around the city, taking in a lot of shops and sites. We visited an exhibition of cartoonist, Mariscat, that was taking place in Gaudi's La Pedrara, it was a really fun exhibition and...

We went over the High Atlas and to Midelt where we had some great Baguettes for lunch before heading through the Middle Atlas, where we ended up in Azrou for the night.
