Hi Pheonix, we honestly did virtually bugger-all for four weeks :-)
My wife and children flew to Marakech and caught a taxi to Essaouira - and had been in Essaouira for just under a week by the time I arrived.
We rented a house in the Mellah part of town, and some friends came over to stay with us for a while - but that's about it really .... ermmm .... stuff we did....er... we spent a day riding camels, did some kite flying, regularly went to the market to buy fish and vegetables (with the haggling and once you get to know some people working at the market, this is much more fun than it sounds). We found a very old bakery with big wood-fired ovens that produced the best bread, and bought our bread for breakfast there most mornings. We had a few BBQs on the roof watching the sun set, listening to the call to prayer. We read lots of books, walked around the town a lot :-) We really like Essaouira. A couple of days in Marakech is enough for us - it's just too hot and frantic, but Essaouira (being on the coast) is much cooler (there is always a wind blowing in off the sea) - it's very pretty... does smell of fish though :-) and there are cats everywhere :-) and all the local dogs seem to be very low and long :-) I rode around the town quite a bit, but Essaouira isn't very big - but there are some towns nearby which were interesting.
So where are you looking at going? ... what sort of thing do you have in mind?

Ah, I thought you did a bike tour for 4 weeks.

I have a few vague ideas of where I want to go but am seeking inspiration
beaches and all that touristy stuff isn't my kind of thing.....
