The journey to
Morocco
I missed going to Morocco in the
60s when it was the trendy hippy place to go, and I'd read
a bit about it. It's accessible from Paris, French is widely
understood, and it was a place to go as a family with my 14
year old daughter.
We went there at Easter which is an ideal time to visit as
it's not too hot (though it is quite hot) and the weather
was pretty good apart from a couple of cloudbursts.
