Finally got the CD with the pics of the trip from my mates camera (it only took him 5 weeks to transfer some photos onto a CD), so here they are...

I think that's France... or it might be Spain actually :sarb:

That's Mamun. It's his rather strange version of a 'pout'.
http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y279/moroccan_zai/morocco002.jpg

Some hills and shit.

(My older bro, me) Who thought filling in a form could be so much fun. I was checking to see if he made any fatal spelling mistakes.

The hotel Kemal reception area. And some white bloke.

L-R: Me, my older bro, Mamun, Nurul. Aradir beach in the evening.

We ate at this place near the beach which had live music. It's was nice.

The hotel lobby.
http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y279/moroccan_zai/morocco011.jpg

L-R: Me, Mamun, my bro. We were walking around town checking out the sights. The weather was fuckin hot, but it was DOPE! :cool2:
http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y279/moroccan_zai/morocco012.jpg
http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y279/moroccan_zai/morocco013.jpg

My older bro. The camel in the background saw the camera and decided to strike a pose. Clever animals :yes:
http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y279/moroccan_zai/morocco015.jpg

We hired out a car and drove to various parts of Morocco. The next few shots is of our journey to Marrakech (roughly 190km drive). We stoped along the way a few times.

Me (left, blue shirt) getting in the way of someone else trying to take a pic. Bunch of posers :no:
http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y279/moroccan_zai/morocco018.jpg

Mamun was pissing himself really coz he was so close to the egde of the cliff. I was like, 'move back a little bit more, yeah just a bit more...' :)
http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y279/moroccan_zai/morocco019.jpg
http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y279/moroccan_zai/morocco020.jpg

We found a cafe in the middle of nowhere and decided to stop and relax for a bit.
http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y279/moroccan_zai/morocco021.jpg
http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y279/moroccan_zai/morocco022.jpg

We decided to get out of the car and wander around for a bit. Crocodile Dundee style.
http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y279/moroccan_zai/morocco023.jpg
http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y279/moroccan_zai/morocco024.jpg

The sweet cool shelter of a tree :o
http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y279/moroccan_zai/morocco025.jpg

The Hotel De La Minara in Marrakech. It looks normal in this pic, but as soon as you go upstairs the place feels like the movie 'The Shining'. This hotel was fuckin haunted it tells ya (but we had a right laugh scaring ourself and some of the other guests as well).
http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y279/moroccan_zai/morocco014.jpg
http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y279/moroccan_zai/morocco026.jpg

We visit the old city in Marrakech...
http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y279/moroccan_zai/morocco027.jpg
http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y279/moroccan_zai/morocco028.jpg
http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y279/moroccan_zai/morocco029.jpg

Best and coolest way to get around the city is by horse and cart.
http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y279/moroccan_zai/morocco030.jpg

Back at the haunted hotel, feeling totally knackered, so we all chilled out for a bit.
http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y279/moroccan_zai/morocco031.jpg
http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y279/moroccan_zai/morocco032.jpg

We left Marrakech and went to Essaouria (roughly 140km drive from Marrakech). It was one of the coolest seaside towns I've ever seen. Jimi Hendrix lived here and wrote music for a few years, and many rock band spend time here as well.
http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y279/moroccan_zai/morocco033.jpg

On our way back to Agadir Nurul spots a goat up a tree.
http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y279/moroccan_zai/morocco034.jpg
http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y279/moroccan_zai/morocco035.jpg

Back in Agadir on the last day we went quad biking. It was D.O.P.E!!
Mamun crashed his bike and one of the front weels were fucked.
http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y279/moroccan_zai/morocco036.jpg

The crew.
http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y279/moroccan_zai/morocco037.jpg
The house belonged to the dude in the far right of the pic. He's obviously doesn't like cameras.
http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y279/moroccan_zai/morocco038.jpg

Brilliant!
http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y279/moroccan_zai/morocco039.jpg

Our hotel corridore in the middle of the night. I think Nurul was checking for ghosts :p
http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y279/moroccan_zai/morocco040.jpg

L-R: My bro, Nurul, Me, Mamun
http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y279/moroccan_zai/morocco041.jpg

Don't think anyone wanted to go home.
http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y279/moroccan_zai/morocco042.jpg

My bro well happy with his giant box of tax free cigarettes :no:
http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y279/moroccan_zai/moroccotaxfree.jpg

Journey back to London.

It was brilliant. As soon as we came back home I wanted to go in holiday again :)

But we've sorted everything out and we're going to Malaysia for 10 days in September and plan on driving and travelling around to see the whole country. I'm not a big fan of city environments and prefer beaches, and rural places. :dance3:

That was the usual strawberry flavour shisha - but ever-so-slightly stronger that wat you get in London :naughty:

Desi food is superior to Moroccan food. Some Moraccan food was lovely, but during the last 2 days we ate pizzas and pasta :)

Yeah, we're getting a brilliant Chilian (Gonzalez) for the wing, and theres talk of Zenden being a possible replacement for Gerrard.
I wasn't too bothered when Owen left, but loosing Gerrard feels like a punch to the stomach :no:

Ketamine, they call hash ''aki-baki'' over there :)

We're walking down the boulevard and suddenly hear a sneaky voice saying, 'hey friends, you want aki-baki?'

We look around and there's no one there. We hear the voice again and look up. The bloke is hiding on top of a tree and is trying to sell weed to passers by. People just have a different approach over there :neutral:

I only stick to fruit flavored shisha these days bro. Haven't smoked the devils finest pipe weed since college days.

hahaha! :)

Moroccan women in general are very beautiful. They kind of look like a mixture of desi/arab/spanish. And most of them are very nice in a down to earth and humble sort of way, and are also very easy to chat with.

Marrakech is a different story, the women and teenagers there try tooooo hard to adopt a western style and attitude. It makes you realise how pretentious and fake people can become.

The women in the city/town areas are pretty, but I felt like I was struck by lightning when I met some of the women in the rural areas. They are fuckin gorgeous, but very shy as well.

It's a muslim country and you kind of get the feeling that it's not a wise idea to take pictures of women if you catch my drift. Being a fellow muslim it would have been sort of disrespectful to take pics. Sorry everyone :dunnouh:

Not that many places actually. I only really started traveling in the last 3 years. So far been to Spain, Tunisia, Turkey, Sardinia and Morocco. Been to France on a school trip when I was 11. Also I don't know if Scotland and Wales really counts as proper holiday destinations :sarb:

I want to visit more places in Asia so we're gonna start it off with Malaysia later this year :dance3:

What the best place you've been to?
