Marrakesh vs Agadir vs Tangier

Image
                   Agadir                                              Marrakesh                          As we travel through Morocco we have noticed how each city is different from one another. The first city we went to was Marrakesh. Marrakesh is very dry with a lot of dessert and not a lot of vegetation. The second city  we went to was Agadir.  Agadir has a very different landscape than Marrakesh with the Atlas mountains to the north and the desert to the south. Agadir is on the coast in the middle of Morocco. Tangier is different from Agadir and Marrakech. The city is in the north across the mediterranean sea from Spain where there is a lot more vegetation. Tangier also is more of an economic city being very close to Europe. It has a large port t...

Snorkeling in Thailand

Image
  Thailand is an amazing place to snorkel and scuba dive. A few days ago my mom and I went snorkeling while my dad went scuba diving. We went to Koh Haa to see coral and sea creatures.  The boat ride was 2 hours from Ko Lanta. On the boat we had breakfast, snacks, lunch and dessert. There were lots of different drinks to choose from. Once we got to Koh Haa  we had to put on our flipres, googles, snorkel and life jacket. Since my dad was scuba diving he had to put on a lot more gear. Kob Haa consists of 5 islands that have very clear water. For the day we went to 3 of the islands to snorkel. Close to the islands, there are a lot of colorful fish and coral. Getting back to the boat after our snorkel was tough sometimes depending on the current.   With a strong ocean current, my mom and I tried to swim back to the boat but we would take 10 strokes forward and get pulled back 5 strokes.   The boat had to come to us because we couldn't swim back. While we were snorke...

Egypt February 24

Image
  A few days ago my family and I got to see the Giza pyramids. We had a taxi driver take us in the morning. He parked his car on a side street then walked us to the gate. At the entrance it was madness, there were at least 100 people shoulder to shoulder pushing their way to  get tickets. There was no way we were going to get tickets so we paid a guy to get them. He pushed through everyone to get to the front of the line 1 minute later he had the tickets and brought us to the gate. When we got in he said we should take a horse carriage. He kept on insisting, but eventually left us alone so we could explore ourselves.  Once we started looking around we were amazed by how big the sphinx was. You are not able to get close because there is a large pit surrounding it. The sphinx is an Egyptian god that is the protector of the pyramids. As we walked around the pyramids I noticed that this area was a large tourist trap. Locals were selling everything from camel rides to souvenir...
