What a pleasant two weeks it was - 12-25 June, 2008 ;=))
Setting off from Antony, we travelled by the TGV to Strasbourg, where we had a few days with
aunty, uncle, and cousins, then drive to EuroAirport, Basel, for the EasyJet flight to
Marrakech, Morocco.
Our first day was in the great Riad Ifoulki, then our hire car arrived, a Peugeot 206, with
just 7,000 km on the clock, and we set off on a total 1,324 km trek. First south-west to
Ouarzazate, then further south to Zagora, getting as far south as the SaharaSky
Hotel/Observatory. Then back to Ouarzazate, and west to Agadir, and finally back to Marrakech,
for the flight back.
Then a few days in Waldenheim, before taking the TGV back to Paris, and ultimately Antony.
Travel Slide Shows
I tried many javascript and an Adobe flash slide shows, and eventually decided on these. Note,
they are BEST viewed in FULLSCREEN mode
(F11 key in IE), using a minimum screen resolution of 1024x768 pixels :-
Be patient to get the automatic change working, but all slides can be
viewed ;=))
Since there are over 400 images, presented in multiple sizes, I have split them into four(4)
pages, each page with about 100 slides, to try not to overload the browser and provided
multiple choice of sets of pages, depending on the speed of your internet download, and your
screen size.
The four pages in each set contain the following images. Of course, each page has a link to the
next, and each image a link to the full image, so clicking an image will open the full size
image in a new browser page.
Road S to Zagora, Zagora, Road S to SaharaSky, Zagora - Hotel Reda, Road back N to
Ouarzazate, Ouarzazate - Mercure Hotel (348-452)
204 to 297
Road to Agadir from Ouarzazate, Taliquine - Safran cooperative, Hotel Gazelle d'Or, Agadir -
Palais des Roses Hotel, Sofitel Hotel, Road Agadir to Marrakech, Marrakech - Majorelle
Gardens (455 - 550)
298 to 439
Marrakech - Riad Ifoulki, Ksar Es Saoussan restaurant, Place Jamaa El Fna, Flight North,
Waldenheim, Saverne, Haguenau, Strasbourg, Paris - Gare de l'Est - TGV (551-705)
Choose the appropriate table set below
Set 1: For relative fast internet connections.
Good size - Images are generally 800x600, averaging 180KB each.
Set 2: For dial-up type internet connections, and/or small screens.
If the above stalled, then try these - Images are generally 600x450, averaging 100KB each.
But you can still view any individual image in its full size by clicking on the image.
For the very 'brave', or perhaps 'foolhardy' ;=)) Full Size in ONE page -
warning will 'stall' in MOST browsers, and machines! - There are
438 images, most are 1600x1200 pixels, averaging 800KB each displayed at native size - that
is over 350 MB - You may have to wait a LONG TIME, or even
RE-BOOT your machine to get out of this - YOU
HAVE BEEN WARNED !!!
