PODCAST SEASON 5 - OVERLAND THROUGH SOUTHEAST ASIA
Driving north from the Malaysian border our first stop is Ko Yo island. We don't find the cotton industry that should be here, but it is picturesque with a nice view of the fish farms. On the island is a traditional, but very extensive folklore museum about the south of Thailand. In Nakhon Si Thammarat we visit Wat Phra Mahathat Woramahawihan, the most important Buddhist temple in southern Thailand with a stupa built in the 13th century. We make a stop at Chian Yai harbour to see how the fishing vessels are loaded and unloaded. We take a boat to Koh Tao Island en enjoy its superb snorkelling possibilities.

![Morocco 2025 - Episode 18 - West of Tangier
Over drie dagen vertrekt de boot richting Europa, dus daarom rijden we een fors stuk naar het noorden. We kamperen in Moulay Bousselham. Moulay Bousselham is een klein kustplaatsje in het noordwesten van Marokko, genoemd naar de 17e-eeuwse heilige Moulay Bousselham. Het staat bekend om zijn lagune, een van de belangrijkste wetlands van Noord-Afrika, en trekt jaarlijks duizenden trekvogels. Met een groepje andere toeristen gaan we in een klein bootje naar de lagune voor een rondvaart van anderhalf uur. We zien onder andere reigers, lepelaars, sternen, meeuwen, wulpen en aalscholvers. Als we terugkomen, kijken we nog even naar de vissers die hun verse vangst verkopen
We rijden verder naar het noorden en stoppen als eerste bij Lixus. Hier is een grote, maar weinig gerestaureerde opgraving, hoewel nu hard gewerkt wordt aan verdere ontwikkeling, onder andere met een groot informatiecentrum. Lixus is open voor publiek, maar minder toeristisch dan vergelijkbare sites als Volubilis. Het is een van de weinige plekken waar Fenicische, Romeinse en Islamitische sporen samenkomen. Lixus is een van de oudste Fenicische nederzettingen in Marokko, gesticht rond 1100 v.Chr. Deze archeologische site biedt een uniek inzicht in de antieke handelsnetwerken en culturele uitwisseling in Noord-Afrika. De strategische ligging aan de Loukos-rivier, dicht bij de Atlantische Oceaan, maakte het een belangrijk handelsknooppunt voor olijfolie, vispastei en verfstof uit schelpen. Onder Romeins bestuur groeide Lixus uit tot een bloeiende stad met een amfitheater, tempels en mozaïekvloeren. Lixus werd bekend om zijn garum-productie, een luxe Romeinse delicatesse die tot naar Pompeii werd geëxporteerd. Restanten van garum-fabrieken en oliepersen tonen de economische vitaliteit van de stad. Het Romeinse amfitheater is een van de weinige in zijn soort in Marokko, met uitzicht op de Loukos-rivier. Er zijn vloermozaïeken met mythologische taferelen bewaard gebleven. Sinds 1995 staat Lixus op de voorlopige UNESCO Werelderfgoedlijst.
Daarna rijden we verder naar Mzoura.
Mzoura is een mysterieuze prehistorische steencirkel uit het Bronstijdperk (ca. 2000–1000 v.Chr.). Deze archeologische site is uniek in Noord-Afrika en wordt vaak vergeleken met Europese megalithische monumenten zoals Stonehenge.
De cirkel bestaat uit 167 rechtopstaande stenen, waarvan de hoogste 5 meter is. De centrale steen is mogelijk een grafmonument en weegt naar schatting 20 ton.

![Marokko 2025 - Aflevering 07 - Dadès- & Todra-kloof
We maken een tocht door twee prachtige kloven: de Dadès-kloof en de Todra-kloof. Sinds kort is de hele weg geasfalteerd, zodat het gemakkelijk is om de Dadès-kloof van zuid naar noord te rijden en aansluitend de Todra-kloof van noord naar zuid, een trip van in totaal 186 kilometer. Het is een prachtige rit die ons tot 3000 meter boven zeeniveau brengt. Op het eerste stuk naar het noorden komen we nog door een paar traditionele Berberdorpen, maar later wordt het steeds minder bewoond. De kloven liggen in het Hoge Atlasgebergte, dat is ontstaan door de botsing van de Afrikaanse en Euraziatische tektonische platen. De zichtbare rotslagen zijn meer dan 250 miljoen jaar oud. We kamperen aan het begin van de Todra-kloof en maken nog een wandeling onder de palmen langs de rivier.
