Well it's been just over 2 weeks since I returned from a fantastic week's trekking in the Jebel Saghro region of Morocco. Being back at work really isn't quite the same!I travelled with Olly and Danny, two guys from this site and we had a great time. Marrakech itself is a vibrant and interesting city, such a contrast between the European restaurants/shops and hotels in the Gueliz area compared to the Medina and Place Jemaa El Fna where you seem to jump back in time.Anyhow, for someone like me who is into the outdoors it was great to escape to the ‘wilderness’. A good vehicle took us out to the start of our trek and Mohammed our guide (they all seemed to be called Mohammed) was excellent, introducing us to the Berber culture and explaining many things about the villages and markets. Accommodation was fine - nothing fancy, but was as you would expect on a trip like this. The pinnacle of the trip was just being away from everything and being immersed into a different place and culture – the trekking was great! I will try and add some pics once I get myself sorted. I have posted a couple of reviews of my moroccan trip here and the operator Rendez-vous Marocain hereWell, fond memories but back to work!! Although I am already looking at my next trip of trekking in Australia's outback or the lost City of Petra.Any potential travel buddies out there for these trips?
