Our flight left latewow gold on Saturday out of Orly Airport in the south of Paris. The first leg was a four hour jaunt to Casablanca, followed by a hop to Agadir.

By the time we arrived in Casablanca it was around midnight. power leveling We pulled into one of the airport's shadier terminals (the return flight proved that the Casablanca airport has some very nice parts) and shuffled to the gate for our flight to Agadir. We were surprised to find people smoking in the airport, and flight times scrawled on a dry-erase board.vcheap wow gold
Finally we left Casablanca and landed in Agadir around 1:30 a.m. local time, which was 2:30 for us. Dead tired, we trudged into the airport, where Morocco's grumpy border control guards grunted over our passports and waved us through. We retrieved our luggage, then dropped into a cab for the hotel.

In the cab I sat behind the driver and stared drowsily out the window. I noticed that Agadir looked stark and run down in the dark, and impassively watched a dog chase the car for a while. Half an hour later at the hotel steps, David told me that the taxi's gas gauge was on E for the entire ride, and that the dogs on his side were growling and snapping. We wondered what we'd gotten ourselves into.runescape

Well, it seems we at least got ourselves into a good hotel. At the hotel steps a sympathetic doorman helped us inside, and roused the front desk clerk from his nap. The clerk showed us a couple of registration forms, then changed his mind and decided he'd fill them in for us later. Then he informed us that our room included a full breakfast and dinner every night. David and I exchanged glances and tried to act like we weren't surprised. Did I miss that detail when I booked the trip? The clerk grabbed our luggage and beckoned us through a door to a hallway and our room.runescape gold
Our room was spacious, complete with a nice balcony overlooking the pool. Although we barely noticed the details,rs gold  because there on the coffee table were two plates of food, wrapped in plastic. "For you," the clerk said smiling, and bowed out of the room. It was certainly a warmer welcome than the one we received from the border control.

I was disappointed to awake on Sunday morning to a cloudy sky. Not only cloudy, but a little bit on the cool side. We decided to take it all in stride and walked down to breakfast in good spirits. In the restaurant we were given a tour of the buffet and grill, and met a cheery waiter named Jawed. Throughout the course of our stay, Jawed would drop by our table at every meal and teach us a bit of Arabic. Which, despite our best efforts, we would immediately forget.runescape money Arabic, of course, is the first language of Morocco, and French is the second. Although almost everyone we came upon also spoke excellent English. David and I did our best to stick to French, but many times people would cut us off and politely ask "Do you prefer English?"

After breakfast we decided to visit the beach.runescape power leveling 

The hotel was located in a dry bit of hill, surrounded by other hotels - or hotels in the process of being built - and about a 10 minute walk from the beach. The beach itself was wide and the sand was soft, and we were happy to see more Moroccans than tourists playing in the water. It was still too cold for us, so we walked along the water for a while, then turned back through town and spent the rest of the afternoon at the poolside. The clouds cleared around 6 pm, and I had high hopes for the next day.AoC Gold

Monday
Monday morning started cloudy. I pouted over this for a while, until David prodded me into visiting the town center. Cabs are frequent and a little tourist train runs into the town regularly, but we decided to walk. It took about 30 minutes, but at least the weather was perfect for a hike.Age of Conan Gold
Once into town, we happened upon a sign for the Valley of the Birds. We had nothing better to do, so we decided to pay the 5 dirhams for a visit. 5 dirhams is about 50 cents, and I can't remember the last time 50 cents got me into anything.AOC PowerLeveling The Valley of the Birds was a sad little bird zoo with some extra animals thrown in. A herd of mountain goats, a few monkeys, a pair of llamas. The only thing that amused us enough to photograph was a stray kitten on a colorful bench.
After exiting the bird zoo, we found ourselves at the foot of a small indoor market. We took a walk through and got our first taste of Moroccan retail; hassling.Age of Conan Power Leveling 
Every time we passed a booth, the owner would launch himself at us, trying to get our attention. Sometimes he would insist on a handshake and a bonjour, then drag us into his shop. We couldn't stop to look at anything without being attacked.rs gold  



Eventually I stopped to admire a bracelet and wound up in a negotiation with a "no-hassle" guy over the price. To proof the authenticity of the silver, runescape moneyhe went through a complicated science experiment to prove that it was real. When I doubted the jade stone, he frantically lit a lighter under my nose and said "No plastic! You want me to try to burn it?" In the end, I'm sure I still paid too much, but we finally settled on a price.
