Hi all
well just got back from meracesh, morocco

we chose it to try and get out of the euro we had a great time a real eye opener it has to be said...

first time for us just me and the mrs so was nice change, done a few trips and that nice place to go but they are crazy drivers and all over the place on mote peds including the pavements no good if your disabled as no sign of a ramp in site...

as for the paving well lads i think you all need to get out their and sort it out....

Booze not easy to buy but i was not to botherd, cheap as chips to be honest we found it hard to spend our money

any one else been and if so what did you think

well try and get back into the swing of it now and finish of the patio .....

cheers all

simon

we were there 2 years ago, really enjoyed it. the only downside were the beggars constantly harassing you. like the big market in the main square with the snake charmers. :D

Morocco sounds good only thing that would concern me is if there was difficulty in obtaining a few bevvies at night.
Anyone been to Tunisia, what's that like?

Tunisia was by far and away the worst holiday I have ever had and everyone of my family and friends that have been haven't had good time either. Biggest problem was the men constantly harassing my wife and when she wasn't being harrassed she was being verbally abused by groups of young men who were basically saying look at the t#ts on that etc. It was really unpleasant and inescapable and made us feel very unsafe. It's not the most picturesque place either we like to explore but you can see all the sights within 2 days and are discouraged from going on your own trips so you have to go on government approved ones and listen to all sorts of propaganda. Booze is not a problem just go to any hotel or casino but to be honest I'd rather wet weekend in Skegness.
Can't see it from my house
