WARNING (6 august 2006)
Today, our youngest daughter returned from her big trip. From the Dutch Railways she and three friends had bought a so-called Interrail ticket, which enabled her to travel three weeks in Southern Europe and Morocco.

She turned out to have taken seven hundred photos. For hours on end, we were told how special these countries are and how helpful the people that live in them.
Or at least ... some people. In Tanger, a "helpful" Moroccan was so "kind" to find a hotel for them (which probably netted him a nice commission as well).
But suddenly their 'helpful' Youssouf wanted to receive 20 Euro for his altruistic services. He managed to intimidate my daughter and her friends so much that they eventually paid him the money.
So in case you go to Marocco and this Youssouf offers you his friendly services, don't tell me later I didn't warn you . . .
