Weekend travel in Marrakech

I have been to Morocco too many times in a so short time space. I have to say this this country fascinates me: its exotic architecture, the people, the food, the somehow medieval atmosphere of many areas of the old parts of most Moroccan cities.

I took the chance of getting a very cheap ticket to Marrakech on with the Ryanair air company. So, I live in Braga, north Portugal, just 53km away from Porto, the city now serving really cheap flight to Marrakech. So, paying around 30 Euros round trip, I went to Marrakech to photograph.

I love to make pictures of Marrakech and its exotic tiny streets, the main square Jemaa el Fna and this time, I took the chance to make pictures and to walk through a very unique Marrakech district called Mellah - the Jewish district of Marrakech.

I stayed in a different place time time. in terms of accommodation I stayed one night in Riad Paula, a nice 6 room private guest house Marrakech. it seems this Moroccan riad is brand new and was totally renovated. Very nice place and fully equipped. The riad staff Rachid and Nadia were also very nice. I had a great time there.

Why not to profit from the nowadays low ticket prices and explore the world? I deeply advise on leaving home even if for just 2 days - 1 night. Its not the same. Go and travel!

My Camera Canon EOS5 - Canon Eos 5 Review

For about 2 years I own a fantastic Canon Eos 5. It's one of those photo cameras that one get very attached with since it practically functions as a part of you, following your photographic mind, reaching the right image at the right time.

I travel a couple of times per year, and while traveling I tend to put my camera to hard tests. This camera always worked perfectly and never gave sound of malfunction.

Some Canon EOS 5 features include: full-frame 12.8 Megapixel CMOS sensor combines with Canon's DIGIC II Image Processor, a high-precision 9-point AF system with 6 assist points, and "Picture Style" color control to deliver images of superior quality with enough resolution for any application. With its wide-angle capabilities, 2.5 inch LCD and magnesium-alloy body, the 5D is the perfect addition to the Digital EOS line.



Tips for Travel and Photography

1. Bring along 3 extra batteries that will always be fully charged for days where you will not have access to electricity.
2. Bring extra memory cards, I have about 30 Gigas in Memory cards.
3. Buy memory cards not more than 4 Gigas, this will make your camera take less energy from your battery, since bigger card will need lots of energy just to read inside thousands of photos. 4 Gigas cars will be easier and fast.
4. Buy a protection filter called skylight, and, if anything happens to your lens, well, you can just replaced it, so, why not have an extra ready skylight in your bag? just in case you brake that one.
5. Watch out with sand, in places with sand like deserts, where sand in very thin, it will go inside your lens very fast and ruin everything. Protect your camera with a plastic bag and tap.

Youth Hostel in Berlin, Cheap Hotel Berlin

I stayed on this nice youth hostel in Berlin which is a former nunnery with a unique atmosphere. It was full as Berlin got to have tons of tourist during the high season of April 2010. Rooms are clean, practical and I had a nice window view to the patio and surrounding building and trees.

I stayed on a 4 beds room and payed €17 per night. Toilets and showers are just outside the door. I had this crazy Japanese dancing hip hop no my room until 2am.
