QuoteJust got back over the weekend so if anyone thinking of going,
heres some info:
- Fierce warm (being Africa and all)
- They say they can guarentee 350 days of sunshine per year
- 8 days I was there the temp was rarely under 30 deg. Lowest was 28 deg.
- Fine if your into sun holidays and doing not much else, can be fairly
boring if your not into sunning yourself for 8 hours a day
- Shopkeepers very annoying trying to get you to go into their shop/resteraunt.
- Lost count of the amount of times we left a resteraunt, only to be accosted
at the door by the waiter of the place next door, trying to get us to go in
despite only finishing a meal!
- They look for tips for everything. Can get annoying when you buy a coke
from a shop only to be hassled for a tip because they handed the drink
to you!
- Mrs Ash didnt get much hassle when I was around, but the one time she
went to the shop without me she noticed a very different/sleezy/
ignorant vibe from shopkeepers and locals on the street.
On the plus side:
- Hotel Kenzi Europa was nice enough and had decent facilities
(gym, spa, pool, tennis basketball and football courts, bar, buffet resteraunt)
- Done a 4 wheel drive trip to the pre Sahara which was very good
Unfortunately my SD card corrupted so I lost all my pics
- The Kasbah is cool to see and the panoramic views of the beach, city
and harbour are very nice. And yes, I rocked it
Neither of us are one's for the sun (bit silly going to North Africa then!) but it
was a cheap deal cos it was a teacher inspection trip (Mrs Ash place was free), and we decided to give it a go.
Good to see once but I wouldn't go back there again.
