goodbye mogador - hello marrakech

Paradis d'Amis - 18 november 2025

After the last breakfast together in Ank's paradis we packed our things to travel back to Marrakech.

Bye Ank, bye Abdessalem, bye Billie, bye Lola and off we went on the bumpy road through argan orchards. We exchange our rural life for city life, best of both worlds.

Hello red city and hello Maison d'Amis, it's only a few hours drive and so different. Feels marvelous to spend a few more days together in Marrakech.

Soak up the medina life, have lunch on the roof terrace at Le Slimana and in the evening a classic harira soup at Cafe des Epices.

Sidi Kaouki - 17 november 2025

We ended our road trip from Taghazout with a delicious lunch at the newly opened La Famille open-air restaurant, between Essaouira and Sidi Kaouki.

Back home in Paradis d'Amis the workmen are busy drilling a water well.

To avoid the noise, Henk and I drive to the coast in Sidi Kaouki together and have a wonderful afternoon and evening by the ocean at La Mouette et Les Dromadaires.

Beach, sunbeds, sunset and fresh sardines around the wood fire.

That evening on the roof at Paradis infinite starry sky!
