Morocco experiment
Hi. Just wanted to know what weather to expect during February/March in and around Marrakesh and across to the coast.
No bike I'm afraid. I'm actually flying in Bristol/Marrakesh £5 each way with Ryanair, inc tax - though I might splash out an extra £3.80 to get near the front of the queue for a window seat.
It's only for 7 days and I have no real plans. Will make it up as I go along. I don't expect to do a lot of sight-seeing in the conventional sense as I don't have a lot of time and money. To be honest, I'm not really that fussed about it this time round.
Buses seem really cheap (Marrakesh/Essaouira about £5) but hitching would be good - if for no other reason than to keep my traveling at a local level. What's it like between Marrakesh and Essaouira for camping/cheap accommodation? I'd like to see the sea during the trip, but any suggestions welcome.
It's a budget 'experiment' to see how cheaply I could really do it. All for under a £100 I wonder? I'll be taking a bit more than that though for back up - or will I?
I'm traveling extremely light - bivi/sleeping bag/water filter/poncho/jetboil and little more than what I stand up in. Which reminds me - are those 'screw-in' gas canisters available in Morocco, or are they the push-fit French type? Can't take them on board planes so have to buy one there.
This isn't everyones cup of tea, but any thoughts welcome. Especially on wild camping.
Cheers peeps.
