Cascades D'Ouzoud

Sorry I can't put up pictures right now, this internet cafe does not allow it. I'll post them when I can. (On a side note, it's great to be back in the western world - Italy, where the non-Arabic keyboards have apostrophes ''''''')


So we had a couple of days to spare before we left Morocco and decided to go to this waterfall a girl told us about. We woke early and busted out ass to get to the bus station for the 8am bus, but wouldn't you know it - it was broke down. So we went back to our part of town and stopped in a local breakfast spot for some crapes and started bitching about the ordeal. A couple of American guys next to us overheard us and said they would be interested in going. So the 4 of us split a taxi and 2 hours later we were there.

Cascades D'Ouzoud was quite incredible. You'll get to see the pics soon. As a side trip we didn't even plan on doing, it was wonderful to get out of the big city. I've never been to a waterfall like this, you get right up on the edge of it, something you'd never get to do in America. We hiked down to the bottom and just stared in awe of it, 'till the thunderstorm hit.

The next morning it was time to head off, the Americans wanted to hang around anything day, but I found a French couple to split a cab to the next town. We took our last local bus ride, where 1 hour becomes 3. (Basically on the local buses if it's not full when it leaves the station, it will pick people up on the side of the road to make some money on the side. Of course these people often only want to go part of the way, so the bus constantly starts and stops. I'm sure many of you who have traveled have experienced the same.

Back to Marrakesh for one more night, the when hit the nightmare that was Marrakesh airport. Now I've been in a fair share of strange airports in the world, Nuang U, Rangoon, and Kiev to name a few, but none of them were ass disorganized as this piece of shit. How hard is it to put up a board with departure and arrival times an gates? This way a million people aren't flooding the information desk with, What gate is my flight at? Where do I check in? Fucking idiots - tighten up Marrakesh, how hard is it? Apparently it's too fucking hard for you and you want everyone to yell at you. But we made it out. Morocco was another world and there was more I wish I could have seen. We got to Milan late, the airport was an hour outside of town, so by the time we checked into the hotel it was 1am. I was hungry and asked the concierge where I could grab a bite to eat. He said the only thing that was open around there was a Moroccan kebob place!!! Well, it was actually Turkish, but I thought Moroccan sounded better, you know what though, it was damn good.
