Sorry for th...Hi folks, great to read you all here. Sorry for the delay in replying, but too much to do and some pain in my back (disc hernia) prevented me from making it sooner… ;((<BR/><BR/>Alice SG,<BR/>Thanks! Beautiful crafts, but a lot of bargaining needed… ;))<BR/><BR/>Kim,<BR/>A bit time consuming, I agree… but a great pleasure to read that visitors enjoy and comment! Thanks!<BR/><BR/>Clarence,<BR/>Great to see that you’re alive!!! Wish you all the best in the country with one of the most difficult weathers in the world… ;)))<BR/><BR/>Titania,<BR/>Glad to see that you liked; the Andalucía gardens are a great place to enjoy…<BR/><BR/>Noushy Syah,<BR/>Like the Portuguese saying «home saints don’t do miracles»… Morocco is a wonderful surprise!<BR/><BR/>Wendy,<BR/>Quite close actually!<BR/><BR/>M.Kate,<BR/>No need to be envious… ;))<BR/><BR/>Marguerite-Marie,<BR/>Vraiment une escapade…<BR/><BR/>Alex,<BR/>Put it on your travel list…<BR/><BR/>99,<BR/>Beautiful filigree roof, I agree…<BR/><BR/>Bob,<BR/>That’s true; one hour from home and a marvellous couscous and lamb tagines waiting for you…<BR/><BR/>Sue,<BR/>Time to get back to Europe and visit what you missed; Portugal at the top…<BR/>Compliments were truly deserved; your pictures were stunning!<BR/><BR/>Azer,<BR/>Unfortunately, my picture of the Atlas (not the Alps) was too poor to upload…<BR/>Great to be close, I see… ;)))<BR/><BR/>Ming,<BR/>Amazing, isn’t it? One hour flying from Lisbon and there you land in Casablanca International Airport!<BR/><BR/>Lara,<BR/>Nice surprise, hopefully!<BR/><BR/>Shionge,<BR/>Don’t mention the places I’ve not been to… It makes me sick… ;((<BR/><BR/>Paz,<BR/>Easy: just make New York-Lisbon (enjoy it) and then, Lisbon-Casablanca… :)<BR/><BR/>Chockeroon,<BR/>Great to make it a lovely family evening!<BR/><BR/>Missy,<BR/>Honoured to be linked!<BR/>Prepare to bargain if you want to shop there… ,))<BR/><BR/>Letitia,<BR/>Since Morocco is so close to Lisbon, you may also put Portugal on your wish list… ;))<BR/><BR/>Barb,<BR/>Agree with you on that first picture; the lamp is gorgeous. It looks like some lamps in Lisbon… I wasn’t shopping; bargaining is not my deal… ;)<BR/><BR/>Julia,<BR/>If your relative is taking siestas after siestas, I wonder what is she seeing… ;)))<BR/><BR/>Alice,<BR/>Le Maroc est très séduisant… Déjà on peut le constater dans le carnet de voyage de Delacroix… ;))<BR/><BR/>Nihal,<BR/>Nouveau because Morocco was not yet in my list; Istanbul is not new; well, sunny Istanbul will be new… One day, OK!<BR/><BR/>Dick,<BR/>Great pleasure to see you here! Hope you manage to deal with everything you have to do…<BR/><BR/>Elisabeth,<BR/>Being in Marrakech and never getting to Rabat is probably more difficult that living in Lisbon and never having been to Morocco… ;)) Hope to see you back!<BR/><BR/>April,<BR/>Thanks!<BR/><BR/>Dsole,<BR/>Dear, always great to see you here. I’m still dealing with the awful background of this template, but at least the large pictures are better seen now…<BR/>End of the summer? I would suggest autumn or early spring, otherwise, even for someone used to a hell of weather at home (… ;)), it may be a bit hot… ;))<BR/>Thanks for the compliment; a bit aged and with some kilos on, if you compare with the 70s and 80s… ;)))<BR/><BR/>Paul,<BR/>I’m also a great fan of Bogey and Lauren! I’ll deal with that on my next post…<BR/><BR/>Jules,<BR/>Great to see you here! One day I would love to get to PNG… So, we exchange trips! ;))<BR/>Sorry for the inconvenience on the download; I’ve reduced the number of posts per page and the size of pictures but still…<BR/><BR/>KMF,<BR/>Thanks! Everything fine at the Emirates, I suppose… or are you still in Kerala?<BR/><BR/>Ash,<BR/>You should profit from Cardiff to visit Portugal and then Morocco… ;))<BR/><BR/>Sususpetal,<BR/>Three times a seven hour flight? You must love Morocco… It’s well deserved that affection…<BR/><BR/>Lyliane,<BR/>Marrakech c’est différent; on le verra en bref… À mon avis il faut y aller à la fin d’octobre où au mois de mars/avril… Comme pour le Caire que je n’ai jamais réussi à visiter… ;(<BR/><BR/>Kuanyin,<BR/>Why did I suspect that you had been to Morocco and had lots of adventures there? ;)))<BR/>Glad to see you here!<BR/><BR/>Stella,<BR/>I’m flattered! But unfortunately, I’ve mirrors at home and pictures from the 70s and 80s… ;))<BR/><BR/>Cuckoo,<BR/>It’s true that the blue sky almost matches the sky in Lisbon… ;))<BR/><BR/>JoAnn,<BR/>Glad to see that you’re now stopping for ten days before departing again… ;))<BR/>Open air markets are amazing, and the souks terrific! See that you enjoyed Switzerland; I’ll check the pics asap!<BR/><BR/>Indrani,<BR/>Thanks, but please don’t mention the places I’ve never been to; it makes me travel-sick… ;(( Anyhow, it’s not such a small world…Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14878297.post-26862473970869690402008-05-06T17:38:00.000+01:002008-05-06T17:38:00.000+01:00Great story of Morocco with good picures too.
