Another week, another place. At the train station we were escorted by a man, who said he was from the tourist office, to a taxi. The whole thing was very strange and I had a horrible feeling about it. He sat in the front seat with the taxi driver for the ride, telling us about …
Chapter 16- Rabat
We arrived by train in Rabat, then walked to our apartment, during which one of the wheels of my suitcase broke and I had to drag it for about 20 minutes. Once we finally arrived at where Google Maps said our place was, we were confused. We couldn't find street numbers anywhere and were walking …
Chapter 15- The Atlas Mountains and Sahara Desert
So some of the big things to do in Marrakech aren't actually in Marrakech at all. We decided to book two trips. Since I assume you've read the title of this post, I think you might have a hunch of where we went... The Atlas Mountains are a couple of hours from Marrakech. They're a …

Chapter 14- Marrakech
A couple of hours on a plane and there we were, an entirely new continent! Africa! For two months! I didn't know how to feel about this yet. Was it excitement? Apprehension? Fear? Probably all three if I'm honest. It took a while for us to get through customs, and by the time we did …
Chapter 13- Marseilles
To be honest, I was considering not even doing a post for Marseilles. I almost just skipped it, but I have decided to go ahead as I have three short happenings to tell which I have somewhat over-dramatically titled: The Drug Den, The Dripping Ceiling and The Authoritative Dilemma. So what to say about Marseilles? …
Chapter 12- Nice Part 2
Our first day of the French course was off to a great start. Dad was mysteriously feeling nauseous, dizzy, fatigued, thirsty, bright lights seemed to bother him and he had a headache. Any of this sound familiar to anyone? He was at a complete loss for what might be going on, which Mum and I …
Chapter 11- Nice Part 1
Arriving in Nice was like arriving at the pearly white gates. I don't want to seem like I'm complaining after going to so many exotic places, but I needed a holiday from the holiday already! At this point we'd been travelling for over a month and a half, already the length of a fairly long …
Chapter 10- Genoa
We disembarked the cruise ship late the following evening, and to everyone's relief and satisfaction we caught a taxi to our lodgings. Our accommodation had fallen through so we had had to book a place at the last minute, which actually turned out to be quite nice, and in a very good location. Our apartment …
Chapter 9- Palermo
Our trip to Palermo was a long one, and involved 3 trains, each a couple hours long. It was a welcome relief when late in the afternoon we arrived at our apartment, and our patience was rewarded. The apartment was the nicest one we had stayed in yet; very modern, clean and most importantly it …
Chapter 8- Catania
So first off I'd like to say, I really need to stop listening to my parents. If you'll recall, last blog post I spent about half of it complaining about the walk my parents made us do from the train station to our hotel. Well I didn't learn, and it happened again. Honestly I think …
