Sunday morning -- took the bus to Essaouira - Mogador. It's my 10th day in Morocco and feeling a little tired from tourism. Good to be here by the ocean where the weather is warmer than in the middle Atlas mountains.
Arrived around 2 pm and checked into a Riad, an old home, transformed into a B&B. My room is gorgeous and has an ocean view.
Had a late lunch at a place called "il Mare"; the place being empty had a chat with the young staff there.
The city is very peacefull, no cars are allowed inside the old City, so you don't have to worry about being driven over! It's important to have suitcases with wheels here although there are porters. Mine are so dirty now from dragging them through mud that it may be time to get a new one :-)
The plan is to rest, to see a few things and enjoy the sea air. If possible I will visit Safi which is a pottery town 2-3 hours away. Might need to overnight in Casa on the 8th in order to go to the airport early on the 9th.
Cheers from the beach
