Our team is now well and truly in the midst of our Morocco rafting season. But who rafts in Morocco and what different trips are on offer there?

Our neighbours Carlos and Alicia come over and prepare Asado (barbequed sheep cowboy style) for us one night and we in fact get fresh eggs, … Continue reading
