FOREIGNER FAMILY VISITING ASILAH MOROCCO: Reckon it’s just like riding a bicycle?!
Whoa Dad look at the waves look at the waves good morning Harry how are you good morning guys where are we we are in Asilah and today we’re going to take you to the bike shop yes okay guys well as Harry just told you we’re still in Asilah we’ve decided
To hang around for another night cuz I feel like this Asilah to me is hugely underrated recognize I think it’s a doesn’t get the credit it deserves it’s a beautiful little town I mean look just outside our door look at these little look at these little offshore
Peelers um so today we are going down to see our good friend at the bike shop um we took our bikes up there yesterday to get a couple of punctures fixed two rear tires on both of our bikes had flat
Tires so take up there to fix um it was actually something I wanted to do me and Harry were going to pull the bikes apart and fix them ourselves but met this um this old guy yesterday straight across
The road from the hamam that we plan on visiting today as well and um he’s a bike repair shop and I thought you know what I love to spend a little bit of money in all these little towns um he was
A just for one seven Dirham well yeah he said to us I said to him oh do you fix bike tires yeah yeah I fix bike tires I said how much he said seven Dirham each and I was like oh my gosh
That’s so cheap so um we’ve got well a little bit of a tip for him he’ll he’s fix both of our bikes we left them with him yesterday said I’d leave them overnight with him pick them up again in
The morning um we’ll go back and pick them up now he said they’ll be ready first thing this morning and we’re going to to reward him for um being so honest being so straight up with us I I love the
Honesty of um of um people like if someone gives me a fair price straight off the bat uh I I really appreciate it so we’re going to um well we’re going to sweeten the pot a little bit for him
Give them a little bit more than than was expected so um that should make his day and it’ll make us happy to um share a bit of work around and it kind of saved us a job a Harry yeah although I
Was kind of quite looking forward to showing the boys how to fix a bike tire but this is a win-win share some work around give the locals some um some money in the pocket to locals and yeah happy
Days here our little coffee shop y so this little coffee shop here um Pizza vanilla hello um we’re going to come back in here a little bit later on we’re going to get some coffee yeah um these
Guys are actually really nice we spoke to the owners or the a couple of young guys that were working here last night so we’re going to come back here hello hello ah this is our friend hi hello sir how are you I’m fine I was just showing everybody your um showing
Everybody your your Cafe now we’re going to we’re going to what’s your name Mustafa Mustafa that’s right that’s right that’s right we come from Morocco yes thank you thank you we’re going to come back and we’re going to have um some coffee we’re just going to go pick up our bikes
Okay sir see you soon thank you oh that’s nice so we met Mustafa yesterday and this is his Cafe right here so we’re going to come back and get some coffee on the way home and um yeah heavy
Y oh that was pretty cool yeah so this is mine and Harry’s little bit of time together this morning Harry’s finished his school work Harry what were you working on today uh uh cubing and
Squaring of numbers and how did you go with all that finished it nice and now on to uh what do you call it positives and negatives yes like 5° and stuff like that nice so maths is not
Something I really enjoyed at school but it’s not my strong point either well it actually is your strong point Harry he’s actually a lot better than what he makes out um I’ve had to sort of re reteach myself a few things but that’s all right long division long division was a bit of
A struggle for me at first my teacher Ms Roy from I did I had to message Harry’s old teacher Ms Roy in the Cook Islands and say Miss Roy please give me a little quick update on how to do long
Division again cuz I haven’t done it in so many years so she sent me a quick example through and it all came back to me I was like right okay thank you and Dad said um his teacher Mr who
Oh Mr Denard we won’t go into that that’s another story that’s a story not for this video but I’m actually I’m really impressed like look how far Asilah has come like if you can see oh like see
This foot path here this wasn’t here last time yeah so none of this was here last time it was all sort of under construction and sort of being done so it it’s great to see little towns like
This really pushing ahead and getting stuff done cuz it’s a really pretty little town it’s super tidy super clean so it’s nice to be here I’ve actually got this funny feeling we’re going to stick around for another day um we’re in no major hurry to leave so quite like being here and these
Apartments and hotels are sort of popping up all over the place which is great maybe it won’t be such a quiet town in the next few years so maybe we should stick around and enjoy it now why it
Is well Harry I tell you what this is one thing I’ve got to point out I’m really blown away by look at all these fruit trees oh look at all these orange trees orange trees they look yum look at them all just lining the streets look at this just riddled with
Fruit so a no wonder people sell a lot of fresh orange juice yeah yeah you mean juice the orange juice the orange so we’ve actually had a little bit of rain this morning in Aila little bit of rain so it’s cooled things down a little bit hence the reason and we’re
Wearing a jacket or a shirt it’s nice remember this is their winter well this is going into their winter which is actually ends up being quite nice quite nice temperature up in the 20s which is
Lovely all right I know we’re close because here is the hamam so we found the hamam Harry yep so you’re going to see a little bit more of this ham later on because we’re going to come back here um
Which is a building right up here beside me but our man is just here this is his little bike shop and hopefully he said if he’s not home he lives right next door good morning morning hello hello hello this is our man’s bike shop right here so our bikes should be right there

We are back in Morocco and have arrived in the small and beautiful port town of Asilah. Here we have settled into the campsite and been out for a first day of exploring in Asilah, but today Harry and Gavin are heading into town to get two of our bicycles repaired at a small shop near the Medina.
Reckon travel in Morocco is just like riding a bike?
Thanks for watching! 🙂

I think you completely missed the point that most of these small costal cities such Assilah, marti, essaouira, imsouane, taghazout .. etc are considered to be "Seasonal" cities/villages, which means they only get crowded during summer and usually they're empty during winter because what's the point in going to a costal city during winter if you're not gonna swim? I believe in summer there's a good chance you won't find a place to rent anywhere because it's small and gets packed easily
Personally i insist to get a late vacation around November, so my PTO is guaranteed to ne validated, prices are low, people went back home and villages like Taghazout continue to have that summer weather till late November so there's a good chance you'll still be swimming a few days before December
Glad to know you guys are enjoying your time there!!
Hello 👋 happy family ♥️♥️ welcome back .
Love from Pakistan
Great video. Btw those are not orange trees decorating the streets. Those are a type of fruit that is more like grapefruit. Mostly bitter. Moroccan moms use them to make preserved olives sometimes. Also, when it's blooming season, kids collect the flowers and sell them. They easier put the flowers directly in the mint tea to give it a nice orange blossom flavour, or they extract the essence by steam distillation at home. They will use that water to flavour sweets and cakes or other desserts like yogurts or fruit salads. If you are there in the beginning of spring. I strongly recommend drinking mint tea with orange flowers. You can thank me later. 😂 Cheers to you and your beautiful family from a Moroccan in snowland Canada. 🥶
I don't know to explain it 😁but I really like your video and enjoy watching them Sir ,I have never been in Asila even if I am Moroccan ,I like it looks clean
7 dh nice bro
Errr those bikes need upgrading! If coming to Pakistan I can gift those boys a couple a Fuji mountain bikes.
جولة جميلة في مدينة أصيلة 👍
I agree with you.. this town doesn’t get the credit it deserves. I went with my family last year and it felt very peaceful and quiet in Asilah.
Unfortunately we didn’t spend enough time there. InshaAllah next time.
