Hey everyone,
It's finally time to hit the road, back to Spain and hassle free walks down the street. But also expensive rooms, travel and food. It is definately time to go though. Morocco has been amazing and we have enjoyed it so thouroughly.
Now, the last few days. After i last wrote we did a tour. we walked up a mountain to a ruined mosque. from the the views of the town were awesome. It was incredibly hot and hard work climbing so i went shirtless to Plummers' obvious disgust. From there we continued up the ridge line until the ground fell away into a bit of a hidden valley. here we found the fields. Marijuana plants everywhere! Lots of funny photos and mucking around. they also show people how to make it up there and all in all it was a pretty cool tour.
There was a fair group of us there and we are all staying at the same hotel so we hung out that night. dinner and sheeshas. I can blow smoke rings, as seen on facebook. (Im quite proud of myself) then a retreat to the terrace for cards and sleep. It has now been about a week that i have slept on the ground on a terrace.
The next morning we rocked the kasbah of Chefchouen. Its small but still better than Fes. then it was time to go out to the waterfall. After about a 40 minute drive and a 40 minute walk up a valley. (every direction you could see the signs of crops hidden in the mountains) then we got to the falls. To start there was a jump of about 5 meters and a swim to the next of about 3m. then about 2m and 2m and 2m before we climbed out up the cliff. It was pretty fun jumping and swimming downstream. Then it was time for the big one. a 12m plunge off a cliff. Awesome only i bruised my arm pretty badly cos i had it out when i hit the water! Then when we had climbed up again, i wanted to take a photo of the jump but instead i stepped on a bee and nearly fell of the stupid cliff! I hate bees. they are my mortal enemies! So needless to say the walk back was painful. and today for that matter.
So when we got back the same ritual occured of dinner and sheesha. this again was followed by cards and bed. Today we got up slow and have chilled the day away pretty much. i bought a sheesha pipe that i will attempt to mail home in one piece from spain. then we went to the public swimming pool. it was hilarious. we walked in, James, I and 3 english chicks. we walked in and there was about 150 local boys aged between 6 and 16. hilarious, i dont think these boys had seen a bikini before and the crowd that surrounded us was so huge. they stared and giggled the whole time we were there. it was a good pool and pretty fun though.
Then it was time for dinner and now the guys are watching movies while i regale you with near-extinct morrocan word nourishment.
Oh yeah and i uploaded some photos the other day so check em out on
