Travelogue a la Flinn; We all wanted to see more of Djemma El Fna. We only saw it last night in the dark and wanted to see what it's like in the day. I wanted to buy a pair of orange babouches with the pocket money Grandma and Grandad gave me. I tried loads of different pairs on but all the orange ones were too small. The red ones were too big and I didn't like the yellow ones. I only want orange ones ... or maybe pink ones with beads on! Mama said she'll take m...

All I want is ice-cream! So I bothered her and whinged and whined so much that in the end she said "anything for 5 minute...

Most people I know have thought I was pretty brave planning to take my kids (ages 5 and 12) backpacking around Morocco. I don't consider it brave. I LOVE travelling, seeing new places, new faces, different cultures and want my children to experience different countries and cultures too. As a single mum, if I don't take them, no one else will.
