Welcome to Marrakech

The first day in Morocco!

Azayla in Morocco
Since I don't know much about this country but I have something share with you. Firstly, I don't recommend a single woman to go there alone because the moroccan guy will keep on following you. Here is my story. I do not have a travel guide with me because my friend suggested me to join the tour but I don't like the place. Then I bought the ticket and started my journey.

On the ship, I noticed that I had to do the custom declaration. I just followed the people and filled in a form. When I nearly arrived the port in Tangier, I was so scared. There were lot of people here. I feel uncomfortable. So, I stayed with the English girls for the whole trip in Morocco.

On the first two days, we stayed in the Azayla which is a fishing vallage. We stayed in a hotel. When we went out for sight seeing, the guy, he was the receptionist, he made his friends to be our local guides. It was so strange. Actually, we didn't need them but they kept on following us all the time. No matter we went to the market, the beach, the cyber cafe, the restaurant, etc. They would suddenly come out. The worst thing is, they knew where we lived. We felt annoying. Hopefully, we decided to take the night train to Marrakech. We said goodbye at the train station.
