Oct 2, 2005 - The Moroccan Atlantic Coast - Casablanca to Tangier

You only need one word to sum up Morocco: intense. We certainly cannot imagine anything like this being undertaken in Australia! We were pretty keen to escape the dirtiness of Casablanca and took off to Rabat. ... The main gate to the Kasbah dates from 1195, so while Rabat as a city has a relatively short history, it has been around a long time!

The Mausoleum of Mohammed V and Hassan II is truly eyepopping.You only need one word to sum up Morocco: intense. We certainly cannot imagine anything like this being undertaken in Australia!

On a campsite on the beach in a place called Salle which is across the estuary from Rabat which is in a great location with even a surf beach out the front with a couple of the locals ripping it up although there is no way I'm setting foot in the water as it resembles the Murray river after the barrages have been opened for those of you who know it and for those of you who don't it appears not the cleanest much like Yarmouth. ...
