Picasso Terminal
it's definitely the best painted plane I've ever flown
no pictures taken on the road from Malaga to Algeciras; we're already on the ferry leaving Europe, passing ships lying at anchor on a roadstead
Rock of Gibraltar
love
other ships at anchor
all our stuff is inside
'Alcantara Dos' - our ferry (by Acciona)
after acceleration (looks like smoke after gunshot)
no pictures from walk from Tanger port to railway station (about 2 km); we're already at the station, which is probably the most modern and best looking building in the city
Railway Station in Tanger
Our train was leaving at 9:05 PM, so we were already very tired (we woke up at 2 AM that day)
Railway Station in Tanger, other 'blancos' waiting for night train to Marrakech
night was hard, we decided to save some money and instead of taking sleeping-car, we took sitting car, 2nd class. the journey lasted 11 hours, it wasn't sound sleep..
in a while we'll be in Marrakech. It's after 7 AM next day. Palm trees look fantastic.
great views after bad night
It's 8 AM. Finally we've made it - after 26 hours of journey (we left at 6 AM day before) we are in Marrakech
we took cheap room (signs shows the hotel had 3 stars;) for 200 dirhams for both of us (20 euros), slept for about 3 hours, left our backpacks and went to the city. It's afternoon, 5th of March and about 25 Celsius degrees in shadow
first minaret
nice urban planning
one of best pictures of that day
it's still ville nouvelle, so development is made in European way
at the same time, temperature in Warsaw was around 5 degrees..
modern art, street culture?
all names and brands are translated
cactus
palm trees
walls of medina - old Arab town
inside a building
Djemaa el Fna, the central place in the city. We thought it would look better
pulling a shop
coke and carpet, new and old, foreign and domestic, capitalism and capitalism
narrow street in the Souks (Arab commercial quarter)
in the Souks
White Stork - it lives in Poland in the summer and in Africa in the winter
the a la menthe - green tea with mint and sugar - Moroccan national drink
City Hall
look carefully at the background - there are Atlas Mountains covered in snow (Mount Jebel Toubkal is 4167 m over sea level)
the next day (6th of March) in the morning. After a night in Marrakech we're going to Casablanca
so we're leaving. More pictures from countryside, Casablanca and Rabat soon..
