Where oh! where oh!....Essaouira

Still in Morocco but what a place to be.  Bracing sea breezes and uber artsy attitude make this 18th century port town the place to unwind after the dusts of the desert.  The walled medina has all of the beads, baubles and back scratchers you could possibly want on one holiday.  There is even a good selection of hammans where you can be truly scrubbed and scoured as you decide where and what the first drink of the day will be.  I chose a spot high on the ramparts to enjoy the setting sun. A cliche I know but you have just got to do it.  As the winds whips up from the sea I settle in to my gin and tonic made with Boomsma Gin from Holland.  Not always easy to get, particularly in Morocco but...where there is a will, there is a good time.
