Marrakesh vs Agadir vs Tangier

   
               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 to receive and trade goods from.

Transportation is unique in each one of the cities we went to. In old Marrakech lots of the locals have motorbikes or donkeys pulling carts. Agadir is more developed so most people drive cars, vans or motorcycles. Tangier is similar to Agadir but there are not as many motorcycles.

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 snorkeling we saw many coo

Temples in Cambodia

  Did you know that Siem Reap Cambodia has 91 temples. Angkor Wat is the largest Temple in the world. The Buddhist and Hindu temples represent places of worship. Most were built from the 9th to 14th century. I loved exploring these wonderful works of art. Angkor Wat is also the largest religious monument on earth. It took 5 million tons of sandstone to build and they had to use 6000 elephants to transport the stone from 50 km away. It is almost 900 years old but has been refurbished. The entrance to the temple is very large and the first thing you see are thousands of detailed hand done carvings. At the top of the temple you could see the whole property of Angkor Wat. After the Angkor Wat we went to the Bayon Temple. It was fascinating because there are 54 pillars. Each pillar has  4 faces, looking north, south, east and west. The Bayon Temple is very open and symmetrical. It has beams holding up the walls due to years of erosion. The temple is in the shape of a pyramid and there are m
