February Sun: Marrakech

Exactly a week ago I was leaving the Moroccan sunshine to come home and it already feels like a million years ago..!  My boyfriend and I had made the last minute decision to book a short holiday and within a week or so we had researched possible locations, booked a 4* luxury resort in Marrakesh at an amazing price, holiday hauled (coming soon..!) and jetted off for warmer climes.  It was definitely the best way to go - last minute plans are always so exciting!

We went for 5 days of sun, relaxation and as much food and alcohol as we could manage - the post-holiday diet is already in full swing now ;)

Here are some of my favourite pictures from our time over there.....next stop - Dublin for St Paddy's day - oh yes!!

  11. Hi Georgina,

    Morocco looks amazing, could I trouble you to tell me where you stayed and if you booked with an agent or directly? I'd love to surprise my boyfriend with a trip for his 30th but have no idea who to book with etc. as I haven't been abroad in 10 year! :-) Thanks in advance. Jade xx

      We booked though an agent - Thomson. They have some fantastic deals - we booked very last minute and got a fantastic price! We stayed at the Riu Tikida and would highly recommend it...perfect for a couple! xx
