Another way to get to Kinderdijk is with the fast ferry from either Rotterdam or Dordrecht. It gives one also an indication of the shipping around Dordrecht and Rotterdam.
As far as cheese-making farms are concerned, I know of two, one in Friesland, Tijnje, and the other one in the Cabauwse buurt, between Schoonhoven and Cabouw. None of these two can easily be reached by public transport. Of course there are more farms, where the farmer, actually normally the farmer's wife, make cheese. One would have to drive around villages in the Krimpenerwaard, the area between Rotterdam on the W-side, Gouda on the N-side and Schoonhoven on the S-side.

It has a lovely setting with a river curving round a lagoon before exiting though gaps in the cliffs, see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vP0fx5ZjVfA
Good for oysters and other seafood. Don't know what a condo/sm apt is or whether there are any.
But three months in Oualidia will send you crazy, I've never stopped more than one night at a time. And there's not a lot close by—Safi with its pottery is 40km to the south, El Jadida is 60km to the north.
For a long term stay I would prefer Sidi Ifni (where I stopped eleven nights on one trip) with nearby Legzira Beach and Mirleft, see http://www.morocco-knowledgebase.net/forum/showthread.php?t=252

...... assuming you depart Morocco from Marrakech..... when you finish with Toudra Gorge and Ouarzazate (assuming you are coming from Merzouga).... make your way along the N10 to Taroudannt and Agadir.
From Agadir travel north to Essaouira passing some interesting seaside villages on the Atlantic.
If you decide to stay a day or two in Agadir, these villages can be easily reached using the city-bus service....

Taroudannt a small walled and gated town has few tourists unlike Marrakech, Essaouira or Fez, this is a "laid-back" town working town, worth spending a night or two in.

Agadir a well developed small seaside city, with terrific facilities and transport infrastructure.

Hello all,
We are a family of four (kids aged 11 and 13) looking to explore Slovenia next year for a few weeks. We don't want to go in peak season, and we're trying to coincide with Australian school holidays, so we're looking at mid June-mid July or early September to early October. I'm aware that the Europeans will be on school holidays from late June. We're planning some time in Ljubljana, some mountain time and some beach time.
Now, I know weather is a fickle thing, but can anyone advise which time frame would be best? I've done some research, and it looks like an average June will be warmer but wetter than September. We would be willing to begin a September trip with a diversion to the Croatian coast for some beach time. Apart from weather and the European summer break, is there anything else I should be considering when I decide?
Cheers,
RR

...... at the moment Agadir is the better place to begin with, temperatures this week are about 10c lower than in Marrakech where they exceed 40c most days and uncomfortably hot at night...

Mid-Summer the Atlantic coast is the best place to be, Agadir, Taghazout, Essaouria.... not roasting in Marrakech. Moroccans if they can afford to, decamp for the coast or the High Atlas.
Hope its not too late to change plans, Agadir is a terrific holiday location, a beach a couple of miles long, a good base to do short local trips to seaside villages like Taghazoute or Tamri easily reached by Agadir's City-bus service.... the ancient walled town Taroudant is just 50 miles East, just now as hot as Marrakech, however you can easily escape back to Agadir with its cooler moist refreshing winds off the Atlantic.

Hello guys!
I cant get Patagonia out of my mind, as my gift to my self and family(wife and daugher 7 years), when I turn 50 in May. My thinking is that we will fly to Puerto Montt, Chile. Rent a 4x4 car or maybe a camper and then take a roadtrip along the Carretera Austral, and then get in to the Argentinian side and go on the Ruta 40 , continuing south. We have about 3 weeks from picking up a car in Puerto Montt until we should return it. My initial thoughts was to return it in Punta Arenas, and that plan still lives on. Another option would be to drive arond the Montt region for a few days, then fly to Punta Arenas, and rent another car there for about 2 weeks, and explore both the Chilean and Argentinian side of Patagonia. My concerns is around a few things like the weather. Will we end up feeling we been in rain for most of the time, or will it still be 4 sesons weather? Sure, I know, wether is hard to plan around, but . . . I love photography, so wondering if there will be still nice fall colours around? Also knowing if the fact that it is low season make it difficult around lodging and so on? Any, I mean any info and suggestions around doing a Patagonia roadtrip for 3 weeks from May 7 or so, would be lovely to read about. Is that a good idea to drive down the Carretera Austral from May 7, all the way down to Punta arenas? What to expect? Is it safe? What not to be missed? Any suggestions where I should rent the car in Puerto Montt?
Cheers guys, muchas gracias

Hi,
I needed to change my plans and instead of spending whole March, I will be in Morocco for the whole April. Unfortunately there is Easter week (Easter Sunday on 16.04) and spring break in France (from 17.04 till the end of the month) so there will be probably lots of tourists. I am not fond of crowds and higher prices hence two questions:
1) Do you think places like Imlil, Taroudant, Tafraoute will be crowded during and directly after Easter?
2) Does it make sense to go to Marakesh around Easter or better to focus on smaller cities on the Atlantic coast (like Sidi Ifni, Safi, El-Jadida)?
Thanks for answers.

...... go to Marrakech, don't miss it, it's a fantastic city to see and experience. However you'll need to get off you bike here and walk through it, sit in the cafes, get into the historic building and complexes, use the City-bus and rub shoulders with the riff-raff, commuters, students, shoppers and dare I mention tourists etc. to appreciate the throb and pulse of the City.
Cycling the length of the N1..... life's too short for stuff like that, if you need to see what's at the end of the N1.... take a bus or a plane and get it over quicker.
The most interesting thing about the occupied territories in the Western Sahara is how the repeated mistakes of social/national manipulation and gerrymandering is being played out. The planting of northern settlers into the WS isn't going to work in the long term, the settlers children soon identify with the rebellious culture around them, at some time they fall foul to the over-bearing oppressive security regime, which generates resentment and fuels the opposition to the occupation.
The suggestion to visit the string beautiful seaside village south of Agadir form where you then head east into the Anti-Atlas to Tafraoute and the mountain villages nearby, some thing to consider, research these links.....

A circuit from Taroudannt to Agadir and the Atlantic villages mentioned before, on to Tafraoute and the Ameln villages, from where you can cycle on to Irhern (Igherm) and back to Taroudannt. From here the Tiz-n-Test Pass (R203) off the N10 near Oulad Berhil, a little used route to Marrakech. Traffic is very light here, some interesting villages and the historic Tin-Mal Mosque is located here too. One scheduled bus passes over twice a day, the route on the N10 from Talouine to Oulad Berhil where it doubles-back a kilometre or so turning on to R203 for its accent to the Tiz-n-Test.

The "classics" are a trip to Sidi Bou Said, just outside of Tunis which is a charming little village and easy to reach, a day trip to Carthage (which is also just outside of Tunis)where the famous Hannibal is from to visit some ancient ruins. Then you can spend some time in the old Medina of Tunis and visit the famous Bardo museum for some ancient mosaics. If you still have time left you could go and relax a bit at the beach.
