Me and the other half took our first holiday together (in seven years!!) in June to Agadir in Morocco. Our hotel (Riu Tikida Dunas)
was beautiful; very clean, large rooms, massive lagoon type pools and
an abundance of food to choose from in the restaurants. The staff were
lovely too and although the evening shows weren't West End quality,
everyone enjoyed them and had a good giggle.
We went on two excursions; a camel ride which was enjoyable but after 2 hours in the sun, in the desert wasteland of Agadir, we were cream-crackerd!
Our second excursion was the Atlas Mountain 4x4 trip and my favourite
of the two. The scenery was breath-taking and we saw lots of little
villages who, although have no running water, every house had a
satellite dish and a TV!! We had a Berber breakfast in a traditional
Berber house of "Moroccan whiskey" ( mint tea with honey), Berber bread, argan
oil, olive oil, honey and this stuff which tasted like watery peanut
butter. It was ok but I'm not a fan of peanuts so not something I'll
be recreating at home! The only downside to the day trip that I got
quite ill on our return so that was me out for the count for the next
few days! Still, we saw and tasted some amazing things and, although I
probably wont go back to Morocco ( I don't like to go to the same place
twice), it was good to get away and relax! But the question is, where do we go next holiday?!!
