Sophie and Shiney trough Portugal, Spain and Morocco

So finally Shiney and me made it to post our experiences with the flying sketchbook, sorry for the delay. Now it’s nice to review our trip even if it’s more than one month ago, like this it almost seems like being on holidays again J When Ohm and Ilaria gave us the flying sketchbook we immediately thought What a nice idea and even with our huge lack of creativity and terrible drawing skills we tried our best to get our impressions in that book. Before we had to find some nice pencils but we obviously made the wrong decision by buying crappy wooden pens so that we more like produced simple sketches than nice intense drawings. But see yourself… The first drawing should show our trip from Faro to Lagos to Olhao to Tavira, than Huelva and finally Sevilla where we met Ohm and Ilaria. On our way we tested several different local beers ;-)  and different camping places where we slept in our little tent and spent many evenings outside of the tent on our tiny but nice little mattresses. 

In Sevilla we also went to the Carboneria, a place with flamenco singers and dancers where we noticed that one of Ilarias and Ohms drawings also came from. Probably proving that this is really a very inspiring place to be. There we met some nice musician Spanish guys with whom we went to a Shisha bar some other day where we continued the sketchbook. We all tried to paint together, e.g. by drawing portraits ;-) in this case the similarities between the portraits and ourselves leaves lots of space for imagination ;-)  

One week later we travelled to Marrakesh where we enjoyed the Jamal el Fna, a heritage place where one can feel the Morrocan flair all over. We stayed in a nice little hostel close to that place where we spent many evenings on the great roof terrace having some little nice observers running around.

We also tried to create a little Mosaic made out of different Morrocan postcards.  Using some fantasy makes it look like a typical tee pot. One recommend for everyone who is travelling to Morocco: the tasty local mint tea!

In Marrakesh we met Esther (on the left at the following picture), a Girl from Germany to whom we gave the sketchbook. 

She wants to continue it and take it to Germany and give it to a friend who is going to Iran soon.
So with Morocco, Germany and Iran there are three more countries the book was and is hopefully going to travel to, three steps further to succeed in travelling once around the world :-)
