Over the summer holidaysi visited Morocco with a friend. Firstly to get a bit of sun and secondly to experience a completely new culture. I have never been anywhere like Morocco and i found it the most exciting place. It was full of colour and pattern. Everything was highly decorated, from the lobby entrance of the hotel to the little glasses for minty tea. The colours were so rich and vibrant, from earthy tones of reds and oranges to the cobalt blue which comes from the Atlas mountains. The souks were in a world of their own, alleyways of stalls. We went to the tannerys and witnessed the locals making shoes from camel leather, as well as going to the dying souk, where we got a turban. 'Fish and chips' was the local phrase for us, we did look like tourists with our camera's at hand at every oppertunity! The textiles pieces varied in size, there were small wall hangings to massive carpets which would cover a whole room. All in all it was a fantastic holiday with so much to do and see and plenty of photo oppertunities. I would recommend it to anyone.
