a Berber carpet shop where some people were pushed to buy carpets (but didn't in the end) then we went to lunch we we had lovely soup, cuscus and beef shish-kabobs. Our last stop was a herb and medicine shop where I bought mint tea, cinnamon and perfume.It was a really great day and a very interesting experience.
Carleigh: Spain has been absolutely amazing, but what i can't stop thinking about is Morocco. First stop, camel rides. My life is now complete. We didn't go on very long rides, but it was definitely worth the one euro. The markets were remarkable as well and we went into a carpet shop and a shop where they were selling spices and cosmetics and things. There were also a lot of cats roaming around markets. Yes mom, cats. I could keep rambling on forever, but I'll save some stories for home.
Sophie: I am throughly enjoying myself here in Spain. We are currently on the bus to Valencia, which is a 7 hour bus ride.( we have 6 hours and 45 minutes to go...) Morocco was truly fascinating and was very different from anything I've ever experienced. We were told by our local guide that the majority of the Moroccan population was young and youthful. As soon as we hopped off the bus all eyes were on us because we were such obvious foreigners. My blonde hair was possibly the most abnormal thing they had ever seen...We rode camels which was sick and paraded through the narrow streets of Morocco. We visited a spice and carpet shop which was interesting. We also had people try and sell us things on the roads. I loved Costa del Sol because it was hot out and we got to swim in the Mediterranean Sea. Granada was blisteringly hot and was full of interesting artisan items. The only poor weather we've had was on our first couple days in Madrid so we have been extremely lucky. Ta-ta for now.
Tori: This trip just keeps getting better, so far biggest highlight riding a camel it was awesome. Morocco was an unforgettable experience and I cant wait to see Valencia and Barcelona! We are all having so much fun and no one wants to leave.
Chloe: So pretty much Spain is the most amazing place I have ever visited. All the cities have been sick and have all had such different atmospheres from each other. My favourite cities have been Seville and Grenada because of how alive they are. We also rode camels in Morocco which was so scary but so fun at the same time. As amazing as the trip has been I still miss all my family back home and cant wait to see you soon, love you all sooo much! Oh dad, im really considering the exciting career path as a gypsy...
Jasper: Wow... this has been so amazing! Morocco was like nothing I had ever seen before. It was really cool to be wandering through the city and experiencing the culture first hand. The cities we have seen in Spain have been amazing, Seville and Granada were really fun to wander around in. The flamenco dancers we watched last night were amazing. I am really looking forward to Valencia and Barcelona.
Victoria: it was a great opportunity that i got to go to Morocco and its so different it makes you think of your own life, as of what u should improve on and all those kinds of things.. also i liked some of the foods there, the only thing is the people there when they asked if u wanted to buy something they asked you many times even if you said no they kept trying and i felt a bit bad but i guess they are used to that... im so happy i got to ride a camel :D haha so much fun but a hit scary cuz they tall.. last night we went to a flamenco night tat was amazing, it was great i really enjoyed it :p also we are now on a bus to valencia hope i keep having as much fun as ive had so far.. its been great
Se young: With the colossal market and unique culture, Morocco was certainly quite interesting place. Because i heard that Morocco was a country in North Africa, my expectation of Morocco was a either a desert or a grassland full of different animals. But Morocco was very Arabic, including the buildings, food, religion and people. What i especially liked about Morocco was how people are friendly to each other; our tour guide hugged and gave a kiss to a little girl in the market as if he was one of her family, and the girl and people around them seemed to be very familiar with such scenery. It was very heart-warming picture to me. Also i was fascinated with the market where you can actually bargain and lower the price of things. I enjoyed the bargain itself and thought that i got the things for pretty good price, but it turned out that the Moroccan people had outsmarted me, However, it was very nice(yet a little disappointing) experience. I can't wait to visit Valencia and Barcelona.
Devon: Morocco was incredible, I was in awe of the amount of things that I saw. Our tour guide was very nice and funny as well. Getting to ride the camel was very cool. I am glad I spent euros on it. The market place was very interesting. I cant imagine living in there though. The place with the carpets was umm..... interesting. I was confused if I was supposed to buy the carpet or not. The food was surprisingly good. The religion and the culture was very different to ours but I was interested. All in all I liked Morocco but I wouldn't want to stay there. Granada was also cool and I wished we could have stayed there a bit longer. The Al Hambra and the Flamenco dancers were the highlights for me. It makes me sad when I think we are so close to the end.
