Happy New Year, and have a great trip.

That is coffee.

Being totally honest here. Every single time someone makes me a coffee that they have to faff about with ground coffee , filters. Coffee pots etc etc etc it's been borderline rank .

Give me a decent instant coffee anyday . I drink this stuff
View attachment 995236

It's perfect and it's made in superfast time


Go back about 20 years and there were 10% of the coffee shops that there are now .. its still the latest fad , like smoking , vaping and carrying bottles of water around.


All nonsense and a clue that people have too much disposable income.


Another bad habit from America...the home of junk food and ridiculous fads.

I drink the same coffee Northernraider Tam. And bring some over for my mate here,he can buy it at Overseas(Iceland shop) but it about 8 euro a small jar (feck that) I'm the same not keen on Nescafé.

Knowing lenny it could be, I think he may keep them for visitors with the undiscerning palette

These really are shite beans…

Who said Morocco was cheap

 

[Just smiffy]

Went to a little shop for a sim but he was trying to scam me as he quoted different prices from what the others said… so went to another shop recommended by the security guard at tele maroc and he loaded up an old iPhone I have which I’ll use while here as it has nothing on it… got 10gb for 210d .
Had a walk around the medina and not many people about.. getting little hassle as they tend to just look at me and can’t work me out..

Loads of cats around seen a few dogs but this place is a tourist spot so it seems all fairly clean and newish but I fear a false sense of what we are about to see… I think it will get worse but I’m definitely not here for the beer..

 

[CaptainPaul]

Could be worse..
Could be 2 hours from home.... ❄❄❄❄

I tried that coffee once, and it was shit. No, but seriously, it was awful. I don't see the attraction TBH.

 

[Northernraider]

Who said Morocco was cheap

I did try to tell you

People told me that 2 years ago and its anything but . Diesel is cheaper but the roads are shit so you use more unless you use the tolls and they are not thst cheap either if you're having to use them daily.

Some things are cheaper but they can spot a tourist at 500 paces so you rarely will pay what a local pays


That was and is my experience anyway and I'm a good haggler.

Garry we got 7.5gb for 50 dirham chief you've been stitched up

I think it's like caviar and champagme. People think it's posh so it must be good . All champagme I've had has gone In a plant pot or an underage person at the party who's said please can I have it.

Tried caviar once and nearly threw up

The coffee I'd not even entertain

Yes, you are probably right on that. However, a good caviar (Russian) is exquisite, but only if you like it. Much the same as oysters, an acquired taste, olives too. Champagne, a good one, is also nice on occasions, but not for every day use in my opinion (Mr porky might disagree here). I am a fan of people enjoying what they love and not chasing the 'must eat' fashion. Let's be honest here, who doesn't love a plate of chips with fried eggs? possibly the cheapest meal ever. But I do need a good red wine to accompany it

Are you sure you got 7.5gb…? I bought the scratch cards and printed on them are 2gb at 20d… so we’ll see how long yours last…

Coffee beans that have been passed through a civet. The mind does boggle.

It's a bit like a Cheech & Chong sketch, smoking Dobermann because the dog ate his weed.

Yes we all got 7.5 from the little shop by the campsite next door. I thought you got an unlimited anyway.
