alana goes away

canal traffic jam rialto bridge one of the many mask shops st marks cheeser! best burger shop insta shots - horror movie trailer or what sams birthday pres in action beach time standard venice canals This year for Sam's birthday, we decided to have a 4 day weekend in Venice! What a great idea! Even though London had been having a pretty rad heatwave, and I'd actually been up at Focus again (Jesus camp) which was really good, it was nice to get away (with work but it doesn't feel like it when we are out of  London) and go to some of the talks, and live in a campground by the beach etc. but getting out of the UK now that Sam had his visa (YAY!!) was a must. I've had super hectic work months due to the summer holidays, so I've been non stop all over the place - down to Cornwall for a week - back to London for a day - up to Focus camp in Mablethorpe - back to London for a couple days - bac...

Mountain trip! Oh I loves me some mountains, and these were just amazing. Getting out of Marrakech took a while, and while we w...

look alive ma! ceramicccy things galore! hoodrats regs nonregs Another hundred year gap between posts, which I'm sure you family are used to. Back in Morocco still. Pretty chilled out time for the next couple days, we pretty much just shopped, sunbathed, ate and slept. Which was awesome. The heat there is all dry and some days we would go up to the roof terrace at like 10am and it would be scorchers already, but not unbearable, and then the breeze and somehow the silence (which is crazy as as soon as you go outside the riad its like wjkbfas;djkbsdfb). Then swimming in the pool, that was fun. Then walking down to the markets and literally getting lost walking through the souk, and at one point using the setting sun to get a general direction of where we should be heading hahaha. And then there was the day we used the other part of our booking...the hammam and massage. Now, I didn't have any ideas, hints or really just hadn'...
