Off to Marrakech

It's 7am and we are just about to wake the kids to take them to the airport. We are all so excited! Anna hasn't even been on a plane before. From the Adventure Company brochure this is what it says we will be doing:

An exciting, small child-friendly taste of exotic Morocco combining city, mountains and beaches.

Marrakech Souks & Atlas Mountains

Marrakech is an exotic and vibrant world - only a few hours from London but a different universe. You’ll see the city from the comfort of a horse-drawn calesh and discover the colourful main square filled with snake-charmers, jugglers musicians and acrobats. You’ll be amazed by the array of things on sale in the incredible souks. Leaving the bustle behind, you head up into the Atlas Mountains where you’ll experience something of the Berber way of life. Explore local villages on foot (with mules for the children) and enjoy plenty of fresh mountain air.

Essaouira & Beach

An old Portuguese port and pirate’s lair, the town of Essaouira offers a beautifully preserved walled town with a maze of narrow streets, ramparts and long stretch of sandy beach. The pace of life here is far from frenetic so kick back, enjoy fantastic seafood, take a ride on a camel, watch the woodcarvers or the fishermen bringing in the catch and relax on the beach.

See you next year!
