Day 2

I started my morning by immediately sightseeing and looking for activities to do. I decided to take it easy today, for I was still fatigued from such long flights. A small cafĂ© in Oudaia caught my eye, so I went inside and ordered traditional Moroccan tea and fresh fruit for 41 dirham. It was an odd  concoction, but sitting outside was nice. The winter here had such a nice climate with warm weather and a beautiful beach in my view. I ended up taking a nice stroll along the coast and even enjoying a small swim when the sun came out. After swimming for the first time in the blue Moroccan waters, I headed for the Oudaia Kasbah, a beautiful historical building. 
Traditional decoration inside the Oudaia Kasbah. Very beautiful place.
There were few tourists, but the guide was nice and the lookout view from its windows was stunning. My next stop was Chellah, which contained many ancient ruins and cemeteries. It was free to look about, and it was very historical. I learned a lot about Morocco's culture from my day of touring. After my relatively calm and quiet day, I headed back to the hotel for another night, hoping that tomorrow promised even more.
