Travel Life - yachting



How else to get around the sunny Spanish coast of Marbella ?
Either on a set of $300,000 Ferrari or Bentley wheels, or on your $3 million motor boat or yacht ? ... or by foot for free :)

Naa, I'd prefer a beer on the go. Wadda lovely lifestyle. Here's to you. Cheers !

Travel Life - yachting trip



Less than a 1 hour cruise on the boat and you can see Gibralta, the tip of Africa and new continent. We would have stopped by but forgot our passports.

Its also a popular petrol (gas) purchase stopover, far cheaper than Puerto Banus!

From Gibralta, you can either travel on your boat further along the coast, or take the train to Morocco ! A great overnight stay huh ! :)

Home Life - Yachting Life


Well this was a tough one to categorise ... Is lazing around on the yacht (motor boat) considered Home Life or Work Life or Travel Life or... even Love Life ?? Hmm, all of the above !! :) Welcome to the life of a "Marbellian" :)

Afterall, what else is there to do but take the Ferarri for a spin, or hte Bentley for a cruise, or even better, your luxury motor boat for a cruise enjoying cocktails under the Sun.

Here's a friend's cool sexy & beautiful girlfriend lazing around under the sun on the back of the luxury 46" boat while cruising along the high seas along the Spanish coast of Marbella, Puerto Banus. Check out the video too for more action :)

Travel Life - Donkeys




Well aside from the "city" modes of travel by bus, taxi, train, there are the donkeys of course!

BTW, never, and I mean never, call anyone a "donkey" in Morocco! Its the lowest form of humiliation! Slave labor. Poor animals, they're so cute :)

Travel Life



So how do Moroccans get around?
Living as a local, aside from donkeys and sqishy buses, mostly by foot throughout mazes of alleyways in the Old Town of Fes, but for distant places you have a choice of taxis - the cute tiny "Petit Taxi" (cca. 10 Dhm for a 10min ride), or the "Grand Taxi" - now that was an experience & a half !
The so-called "Grand taxis" dont go until they squeeze in 6 people, and that means "4" squeezed in the back, and "2" in the passenger seat next to the driver !? Yes, you've virtually got someone sitting on your lap the whole journey, and that can be up to an hour !! :(

... So why do Moroccans prefer the sardine-can "Grand Taxi" ? Its a cheap fixed price. Usually half or 1/3 the price of the red "Petit Taxi". Or on a long journey say from Fes to Meknes (45min) its the same price as the train. Still, so why would you want to be squeezed in a sardine can 45min when you can take the train ? Coz even the trains get so full they have armed guards blocking angry passengers getting through the gates. Checkout the video to come!
