Where in the world...

Where in the world...

Some of you are well seasoned travellers, others are more comfortable in their own backyards, (so to speak)...

this leads me to ask, where is your favourite place in the world?

For those who speak better in pictures rather than script, you know what to do!

I'm not going to steal anyone's thunder, so I'll let you start this one, and maybe I'll join in later, unless of course I am challenged, giggle

Re: Where in the world...

I want to go there..right now.. What wonderful photos..thanks Jubilee..I see why Marrakesh entranced you.

I found lots of minarets in Switzerland too, cool! Never heard the call for prayer though when I was living there, too far away to hear it..

More pics please!!

I have a unrequited passion for Georgia by the Black Sea...where West meets East, it is stunningly beautiful with a rich cultural heritage. Sadly, the country has been invaded many times as has its neighbours Ukraine, Armenia etc. it is with a deep ache that I know I shall never tread the mountains or walk the old town section of Tsilbi.

Hi Jubilee Johnson

I must have missed that one (hand holding mouth) yikes!

Although I can still taste the sweet mint tea, mmm.

Re: Where in the world...

ahh yes, the haunting sound of call to prayer. I also remember goat herders, goats and homes like those pictured, particularly on the long train ride from Casablanca to Marrakesh. Memories... what an amazing place huh?

Yes. Sweet mint tea!

One of mine may have had 'additives' in it while I was 'persuaded' by a couple of 'gentlemen' to buy a very expensive (but very beautiful) pure wool carpet. The show they put on to make the sale was made it good value for money and a great story to boot.

It really is special this carpet. I think it was woven by artisan peasants in the Rif mountains.

Yes! The train ride to Casablanca too. This was many years ago, but I am still proud of making the return journey all the way to my Uncle's home in Koln Germany.

Non-stop, including sleeping in Tangier railway station with all the other '2nd class' travellers (and some of their animals). I think it took about 50 odd hours. Including the ferry trip across the Strait of Gibraltar, through Spain...and on.

Thank you Karma, for the memories.

And for Sandy, one more picture, (these are hard-copy, pre-digital so I have to scan them), because she asked so nicely, (and because all the other Morrocan ones I have are a bit boring. Actually, this one is pushing at that boundary):

A thoroughfare named after a King.

A box of pins to anyone who can guess what this famous, not in Morocco, landmark is:

Is it the Effiel tower @JubileeJohnson, an artistic version, maybe looking up??

If not, a clue please?

Mais oui La Tour Eiffel Karma.

Though I hesitate to accept that it is "artistic." I am way too blue collar for that.

A bonus display case for your box of pins if you spot the literary reference.

One of Sandy's favourites, and mine too.
