It's a wrap

A year removed from this escapade, recalling the intricacies are a little difficult but enjoyable at the same time. From memory I think my last few hours in Rome involved a bus ride back from the Vatican, spending a lot more time in front of the Trevi fountain and enjoying the most Italian meal that I could find in the vicinity. Kind of like having a vegemite sandwhich whilst walking across the Harbour Bridge and taking a photo of the Opera House.

In Summary - lets go with the greatest hits

Favourite places: Paris, Fes, Marrakech

Most Surprising: Rome

Coolest place for a night out: Barcelona, Madrid

Favourite Hotel: Dar One Riad - Marrakech

Best place to get totally lost: Fes

Best place to drink and get totally lost: Barcelona

Coolest moment: Seeing the Eiffel Tower for the very first time - it's a long way from Year 8 French class.

Uncoolest: Have some Moroccan teenager rip-off my phone with their typical 'My brother, it's in your best interests' look.

Best comeback: Video taping the pick pocket that tried to take off with my wallet in D'jemma el Fna, Marrakech.

Most Random ..but still cool event: Running into Michel De La Chaise in Vienna airport, being on the same flight home as me, staying at the same hotel in Dubai and then hanging out with him for a night, drinking, smoking some sheesha and catching cabs to random tourist destinations at 4am, lol, awesome !

Best Meal: Chez Robert et Louis, Le Marais, Paris.

Total Flights: 10

Total kms covered: 39,568
