MOROCCO
Visited: … September 2007
MOROCCO IS EASY TO VISIT. IT’S A ONE HOUR FERRY BOAT TRIP FROM SPAIN TO MOROCCO ... WELL WORTH THE TRIP
One of the poor countries of the world. It’s also among the most optimistic and happiest countries of the world. The best time to travel there is late fall (September to November) or Early Spring (March and April)
