For me Marrakech is the epitome of exotic. I'm sure there are many other places on earth that would fufil that word to a better degree, so maybe I just have a thing for Morocco, or the fact that it's Africa. Marrakech is pretty high on my current shortlist of places I'd love to visit in celebration of my 21st Birthday which occurs in October but we'll certainly have to see nearer the time, and I'm sure my travel buddy will have her own opinions!

Having grown up adventuring with Indiana Jones and Lara Croft on a regular basis, I think Morocco is a worthy starting point for an adventure, n'est pas?

In the mean time, I hope you enjoy these images as much as I have, and you can continue to adventure with these lovely ladies:

  1. I visited there in 2010 and it was AMAZING. I was there for a very short time (4 days) tacked onto the end of a longer trip to Spain.
    Marrakech is probably my favorite place I've ever visited. Definitely go if you get the chance!

    1. Ooh that's fantastic! That's recommendation enough for me.
      I'm dying to go, I really am. Fingers crossed for October then, haha.
