I've been fortunate enough to escape the declining New Zealand weather for three weeks in the Northern Hemisphere. The highlight of the trip was definitely Morocco in Northern Africa which is probably the most amazing place I've ever been. It's as far away from urban Wellington as you can possibly get and a real culture shock. Thankfully Marrakech only got up to around 37 degrees while we were there (apparently it hit an unofficial 60 in some parts last summer). I'd love to return one day soon and do the place justice with camera in hand, but in the meantime here a few images from the overnight camel trek in the desert where we drove for nine hours to over some very narrow roads in the High Atlas Mountains and then slept on the sand dunes under the stars (The local Berber Tribes call it 'The Hotel of 10000 Stars').
