27.02.2014- My Holiday in Pictures: Essaouira‏, Morocco

Whilst the gloomy Great British weather is undoubtedly making us all more than eager for the arrival of spring, last weekend I was lucky enough to escape rainy London for a trip to Morocco in the company of Tanya, Elodie, Michelle and Sarah. We stayed at the beautiful Dar Lazuli Riad, situated in the picturesque province of Essaouira, which is about a two and a half hour drive away from Marrakesh. I've got a fair few blog posts about our adventure in the works, but whilst I'm putting those together, here's a little look at the trip as it progressed through an Instagram filter:

I'm off to sort through the rest of my snaps- but watch this space for plenty more about our trip coming soon!

*Our stay at Dar Lazuli and transfers were complimentary, but flights, food and other sundries were paid for by us. As ever, my opinions and impressions are 100% honest.
