XI – Short trip to Morocco
Shortly after I came back from Bulgaria – exactly 3 days later – we left for another “express” trip. This time, together with Asia, we spent a great weekend with friends in Barcelona again, unfortunately Asia had to go back to Poland on Sunday, while I set off for a whole 6 (six!)-day journey to Morocco… Tomasz Praszkier See Morocco specimens in our store
