It’s been a while since I last wrote anything – more than 10 days I guess which is quite a lot in my case. Sorry for that:)
So within this time I was in Madrid and in Azrou (and its neighborhood) – a small city in Middle Atlas around 1 hour drive from Meknes or Fez (which are respectively 2,5 and 3,5 hours by train from Rabat).
Trip to Spain was awesome! I met my ex flat mates from AIESEC apartment in Rabat – Verena and Cynthia! It was great to have this Moroccan reunion more than half a year after living together.
I arrived in Madrid on Friday (14th) and quite soon after my arrival we went to a Tapas bar where I had some food and drank 2 glasses of delicious sangria. In the mean time I was having a conversation with 50 something year old German women (later she turned out to be hiding some bread from the bar in her pockets…). It was kind of surreal but it’s actually what I really enjoy (however weird it sounds!). Then we went to some night club. The music was unbelievably nice. Some famous hits (to which you can actually dance) and flamenco shows in the middle. On Saturday, I did some sightseeing with my Polish friends who were in Morocco for a week staying at my place. The rest of my stay (until Tuesday, 18th) I spent hanging out in a cafes, drinking in the urban park or at home, going to bed at dawn and sleeping until noon. It was a cool time of total relax.

Last Friday (21st), me and my Swiss flat mate Antje, decided to go somewhere for the weekend. I wanted to go to the south (the city of Essaouira) and she wanted to go the north (Chefchaouen). We ended up in the Middle Atlas in the small town of Azrou. Because we were almost in the mountains it was unbelievably freezing! On Saturday we went to the waterfall around 70 km from Azrou. What I like the most was the dining places (hard to call it the restaurants) by the streams. It was very picturesque. Then we decided to walk back and hitchhike to the closest village (33 km far). We walked around 2 hours taking pictures of fabulous mountainous landscapes. Then we caught a car, then another one and then a grand taxi and ended up back in Azrou. On Sunday morning, we were supposed to go to the cedar forests where you can see a lot of monkeys in their natural habitat. Unfortunately, the weather was extremely crappy. It was raining and snowing!!! The kind of weather I normally hate in Poland. It caught me in Morocco!! We came back to Rabat (which has been quite cold recently). See more at picasa. You will see different Morocco – without sun, palms and swimming pools. But still beautiful and charming!
