Everything good does eventually come to an end. Our week-long adventure in Morocco gave us so many nice memories. Agadir was a very positive surprise and towns like Taroudant and Taghazout added flavor to the week. So did the food, sunshine, and the other excursions that we had the opportunity to enjoy. Waking up this…
Our visit to Morocco was starting to come to an end. Friday had arrived and so was our last full day in Agadir. The next day we would be heading back to the airport for our flight back to Sweden. This meant that we had one day left to explore Agadir. One day to explore…
Susann wanted to go on a trip to Marrakesh. That was a possibility during our visit to Agadir, with plenty of options to choose between. Our only problem was that Marrakesh was a three-hour drive away. It would have been a very long day with only a few hours in the city. To our understanding,…
It wouldn’t be us if we were able to stay a week at a hotel without some proper excursions.

After the Mini Sahara excursion was arranged with a tour company, we decided to try…
It was time for a calm day in Agadir after our Mini Sahara excursion the day before. It was our third full day in Morocco and we still had a lot to explore in the area around our hotel. This was the day we explored the huge Souk El Had, visited an argan oil factory,…
Who hasn’t been intrigued by the vast Sahara desert at some point in their life? We wanted to see at least a part of this desert that stretches over most of northern Africa. Agadir is just outside the western edge of Sahara and it only covers the southernmost tip of Morocco. Sahara stretches all the…
We had two wishes for our first full day in Agadir. It was time to get to know the city and prepare for the adventure that had just begun. It was also a big wish from Little A to spend the day at the swimming pool. One thing was for sure, the clouds were gone…
When we woke up early on a Saturday morning in Sweden, we were not only greeted by the start of the February school break. We were also greeted by a temperature of eleven degrees below freezing. But we had not planned to stay in Sweden and freeze during the coming week. No, instead we had…
Tureholm is a castle just to the west of Trosa along the Baltic Sea coast of the province of Södermanland in eastern Sweden. This is an 18th-century castle that is today privately owned. Its history is, however, much longer. It stretches back to at least the 14th century when it had the name Gäddeholm. This…
