This was an 8 days trip to the Atlas Mountains in Morocco with Thomas and Erik (from Kamchatka), 5 other guests (Peder, Jonas, Fred, Micke and Daniel) and two guides (Kristin and Mikke), in February 2004.
Yes, it's raining.

The big mosque.

Thomas
|
|
|
I've never seen a lathe like this one before.
|
Thomas (and all the rest of us) shopping for Berb caps.
|
Unfortunately, I lost track of this one while trying on others, so I think someone else bought it.
|
A snake charmer.
|
Erik gets to play with the snake too.
|
I payed far, far too much to get my shoes polished, even though I only payed a tenth of what he originally asked. But he got them to look as good as new, so it was worth it (and it really didn't cost that much anyway).
|
Daniel bought a kaftan.
|
Peder and Jonas (and most of us) bought kaftans too.
|
|
View from the hotel roof.
|
The three Berb wannabes inside the hotel.
|
The always present king is watching from the wall.
|
Kristin and Mikke, our guides.
|
A typical view inside the Medina.
|
Me, in a kaftan, outside the restaurant where we had our farewell dinner.

Dinner
|
Peder ordered something strange. There's meat in the middle, and a whole lot of sugar on the outside. We named it "köttsemla".
|
Thomas and Erik on the way home. The cab driver failed to find our hotel, so we got out and walked back home.
|
I bought two "puffs" and a table. I like how the legs of the table were carved out of one single piece of wood.
