WORDLESS WEDNESDAY

In 2011 I visited the replica of the Bounty which was used for the film Mutiny on the Bounty. The Bounty was lucky to have survived as long as it did. Built in 1960 for the Marlon Brando version of Mutiny on the Bounty, the ship was supposed to be burned for the film’s final scene. Hollywood legend has it that Brando threatened to walk off the set if the vessel was destroyed, so MGM sent it on a worldwide tour to promote the film and then moored it in St. Petersburg, Florida, as a dockside attraction offering public tours. 

And therefore I was able to see the ship in Ostend Belgiu

MARRAKECH - MOROCCO

 A few years ago I made a coach trip around the South of Morocco and we stopped of course in Marrakech, which is also named the red city.

It's a beautiful town where modern life mixes with old traditions and is also well known for its leather industry, you can buy very nice leather clothes not expensive at all.

It's a terrile city with a lot of razzle and buzzle  and nearly impossible to drive through by car ! A lot of preople too !



The market place

waiting for tourists


We watched a show with beautiful horses !

In this restaurant we had our good bye supper with the shows

Of course there also is a big souk, always packed with people so that you could hardly walk !

 
 






raw leather was drying in the sun

and from time to time made wet again

 
 
 
 
The poor snake made  some women scream and run away.
