Day 3: Today was mostly a travel day. We covered a decent number of kms from Lagos to Evora. Before leaving Lagos however we made sure to go back to our favourite little cafe and get another coffee milkshake. Only this time she was out of coffee flavoured ice cream, so we went with chocolate instead and had a iced mocha. Along the way to Evora we stopped at a small town called Aljezur which Ness had been told to check out by someone but we weren't entirely sure...

Day 1: It's the end of the first day of my second road trip and it was a good start. Unfortunately I was still feeling the effects of yesterday's hangover for a good part of the day, but I soldiered through. We had set our alarms for 7:30am this morning but it was more like 8:15 by the time we actually dragged ourselves out of bed. The reason for this was that we had booked the car from 9am. Good to get an early start though. That being said, by the time we were...

First stop in Portugal is Faro in the south. I'm here with Gabrielle and Ness.

Gabrielle is kinda crazy, but in a good way. Full of energy and very outgoing. Definitely fun to travel with, though potentially exhausting at times. Ness is from England but hasn't actu...

Chefchaouen is a small town in the north of Morocco most famous for it's skyblue buildings. They are apparently painted this way to keep away the mosquitoes. It's only 4 hours by bus away from Fes and a lot of people just do it as a day trip, but we decided to stay overnight. This turned out to be a good plan because they day we arrived (around noon) was raining so we basically spent the day inside reading and watching the cricket. Chefchaouen is a gorgeous al...

After spending a couple of lazy days in Marrakesh after our Sahara trip I decided to finally move on to Fes with Rikard. We caught an overnight bus (9 hour trip) and loaded up on sleeping pills. Unfortunately these didn't really help and we still didn't get a whole lot of sleep, as tends to be the case on overnight bus trips. Fes ended up being much like Marrakesh really. From the moment we were off the bus we were being harassed. We managed to get a taxi but go...
