…where will it end, we ask ourselves?
Just three to four years ago Marrakech airport had one terminal. Now it has a fabulous main terminal building which dwarfs the original.
And now there’s a tender out for the construction of a third one – along with a second terminal at Fez!
Apparently by 2013 Marrakech will be able to handle 10 million passengers a year – more than double its current capacity.
Of course if you’re heading to Essaouira you can also use Agadir – or our local airport…still waiting for routes other than Paris/Casablanca!
A couple of months ago a friend of ours in Ounagha (a village about 25km inland from Essaouira) bought 30 beehives, and we bought one too!!! As you can see, beehives in Morocco are not the same as back home – the bees build their nests in long cylinders made of reeds – these are then packed in clay or whatever else you can lay your hands on, and the ends blocked (then carefully removed for harvesting).
Check out these honeycombs (and by the way, lying in a hot field sucking honey straight from the comb is the definition of luxury)…
Next time you describe a human child as a ‘cute kid’, remember what the real thing looks like…
You know spring is well and truly sprung when Essaouira’s fluorescent chicks make an appearance…
