- It wouldn't be us is everything went to plan! We are welcomed to Morocco with open arms and are astonished by the unique and diverse beauty of this country but also experince some of the shade of life here too. Jess also manages to get us lost... not once, but twice which leaves us pondering some interesting questions.

I really don't think any True Blue Travel would be complete without comedian Jon in tow. This channel is the only one I have followed in 10 years that has more than just positive van builds, time on the road, scenery and quips to make the narrative extra special. 😊
That’s such a lovely thing to say, thanks ever so much we really appreciate it 💙💙
Ruby Murray + Kitchen towel = Ring Sting - Gonna be an interesting week! Cant wait till the next episode.
😂😂😂😂 stttiiiiiiiiinnnnnngggggg 😂😂👍
Thanks for the smiles and the true reflection of your journeys👍😎
Thanks for watching Ken 😊
Jess in the loo overnight. Jon was right in his idea and I can prove it, but not here, just take my word for it. When you are bursting and you go to the loo, loose so much but then wait and relax. Take some deep breaths and low and behold it starts again. It saves a further trip. I read this somewhere and it works for me.
😂😂 thanks for the tip! Will try it out! I don’t usually have to go in the night just didn’t drink enough in the day and had too many cuppas before bed that day 😂😂
Hi you two,😂🤣😂oh dear I can’t stop laughing,is nothing sacred with John, Jess you must have the patience of a saint, love you both take care xx
😂😂😂😂 I do wonder sometimes why I put up with him 🤦♀️😂💙
My god u2 work so well together. Could you stop more for plant/tool reviews rather than jess weeing 😂😂😂
😂😂😂 she hates both so definitely 😂😂👍👍
The Moroccan people are famous for receiving guests and taking care of them. It is part of our culture. The Moroccan is happy and offers what he has so that the guest feels that he is not a stranger. The things I don't like in my country are chasing tourists and convincing them to buy something and increasing the price...or not setting a specific price.
Yep I totally agree we have encountered the lovely side to the Moroccan people, very welcoming, and there is bad people everywhere in the world so we all just have to be a bit carefull hey 😊
Loving the drone attachment, however not as good as strapping Jess to the back of the defender. Absolutely brilliant.
😂😂😂 slightly better footage with the Jess drone
Hi guys marroco looks beautiful great video guys
Thanks so much, so glad you liked it 💙
love your sense of humor guys and the way you travel, just my cup of tea......carry on troops ✌
Thanks very much mate 👍👍
I was with Jon, off the ferry straight in to sand dunes, obviously I’m clueless as well! Another fascinating Vlog guys, a work colleague went to Fes a couple of years ago, stayed in a Airbnb, he was bored stupid after a week (it constantly poured with rain which didn’t help), towns and city’s often, but not always, over rated. Stay safe and have fun this week!
Thanks mate, yeah was just speaking to a couple and apparently they do get quite allot of rain here, explains why some of it is so green 👍
You both renind me of him and her if you've ever seen it 😂😂😂😂 spot on once again ! Superb the pair of you !
Hahahaha 🤣
I have the box set. Him and Her Russel Tomey and Stuart from Eastenders. My friends didn't get it but I was in tears every episode. Especially the neighbour and his weird visits. 😂😂😂😂 You have excellent taste in comedy. 🔥🔥🔥. Did you ever watch Mongrels? Same era on the same channel. ❤
@Poeticfloetic can't beat Dan the neighbour 🤣🤣.... Good old Paul, too ! I'll be sure to check that comedy out, tho 👍
😂😂 I’ll have to check that out 👍
Stay safe, guys. Loving the journey. Nice necklace there, Jess. 👍👍
Thanks very much 😊💙
Jon doing that parkour jump could have meant a slip on the loose gravel and a broken leg, then off to hospital with a big bill and Jess driving till you got home. And I thought that this was to be a fun but safe trip, not doing crazy antics at the start. Next as soon as you are in the desert, you will want to run up and down the dunes with the snakes.
I try and tell him 🤦♀️🤷♀️ may as well talk to myself 😂
The Chucklebus on top form! Can't believe Jess gets so embarrassed about something so natural. Personally i think you should have 2 Thrones, next to each ither. Sharing is caring.
Great watch, team
Ride safe 👍
😂😂😂😂 I know, what a weirdo she is hey 🤷♂️😂
You both have Tripple T Time ….. Jon’s Tool Talk Tuesday and Jess’s Tinkle Tinkle Time 😂
😂😂😂 pmsl
We loved it you both stay safe
So glad you enjoyed it 💙 thank you
I moved to Spain about 15 years ago and have made the crossing to Morocco numerous times. It is one of the most friendly places you can travel to BUT I have learned a few rules the hard way - do not fuck with the police, the national flag or their religious beliefs. And finally, avoid the back streets in the Medina's especially at night but if you really have to go there; don't go alone.
Oh and if you must try the weed, get it from outside the towns. Every small village has "Someone who knows".
Thanks for the info 👌👌👍
Interesting...I walked the streets in the Medina alone and no one bothered me.
@@Tearoze Depends on what you mean by 'medina'. In it's truest sense it's just the oldest part of any north African town or city - and that's the meaning I take.
So then it depends on which town or city you felt safe walking through unchallenged. And by unchallenged I mean anything from aggressive begging to mugging.
@@gillie-monger3394 Define Medina however you choose. Marrakech has very few violent crimes, and when they do occur, they nearly never target tourists. You can walk around the city with confidence, knowing that you are unlikely to be attacked or mugged.
@@Tearoze Not up to me to define a Medina just try using a dictionary. Marrakech is a tourist hot spot and policed quite well. If you just stick to those places you may as well be in Benidorm or Blackpool!
Try going in-country regularly and you'll find out.
Stay safe you two. Its lovely to see different countries on your travels. I think the Defender is awesome. Looking forward to next week's installment.
Thanks Lynn, we so surprised how much we love the defender 😊
It’s definitely a beautiful country with beautiful people I’ve been once for work and the riding was amazing I’d love to return for pleasure 😎👌another great watch 🙏❤️
Thanks mate, yeah I’d love to come back on a bike one day, would be brilliant 👍
The banter is brilliant ! Chemistry is magic - we laugh out loud watching your vlogs .. don’t change a thing J&J ❤
Thanks very much guys 😊💙💙
Morocco is an amazing country. Love it.
Yep it’s a lovely place 👍
@@truebluetravellers 2nd tour of Morocco I've been on lately. Only last one they were in a 9 mtr Kon Tiki motor home. What a difference.
I always look forward to Saturday mornings and the arrival of your vlog. Keep up the amazing work 😀
Thanks very much, have a lovely weekend 👍
Parcour, parcour 😂😂😂 oh man you crack me up every time!
😂😂😂😂😂😂👍
Best Chanel on the tube 😂 cracks me up 👌
Thanks very much 😊👍
Watched because of Morocco, hooked because of your personalities ❤😂
😂😂 ah thanks very much 😊💙
I remember years ago in Tunisia, taking photos of government buildings was forbidden. Stupidly took a photo with my disposable (showing my age) and a copper took it and jumped on it. Smiled at me said "enjoy" walked off.
Not sure if it's the same there or not.
Great video, safe travels guys
Bloody hell, ridiculous that 🤷♂️🤦♂️
John I hear the BBC are looking for professional camera men. They would snap you up with your John drone skills.
😂😂😂 I know I know 😎 I wonder if they can afford me 😂
Another fact full and very entertaining vlog. My husband and i look forward to your vlogs every Saturday, so glad we found you! Have a safe trip xx
Thanks very much guys it’s much appreciated 💙
Hi both, great video. Give Jess some peace John when she is having a wee 😂 poor thing. Enjoy and stay safe. X
What a fantastic vlog this morning...I so look forward to a cup of tea and a look at your antics ..it makes Saturday morning complete. Well done and take care. David
As always thanks David 😊💙
"...the V squad" and not a single complaint or un-subbing
Must try harder Jon 😎😎
Us girls are tough 💪 used to dealing dribble like comes out of this muppets mouth! 😂
@@truebluetravellers You are Jess, until I 👀👀 🤣
😂😂😂😂
Amazing video as always, but please Be safe out there.
Thanks very much 😊 Will do
I all ways get such a kick out of when friends go to Morocco , how like John they are so surprised that it is not all sand dunes and desert land scapes . Such a great country to visit and awesome people that you meet along the way make Morocco such a great place to over land in . Cheers to another spectacular adventure video again you two and for sharing your wonderful journey with us . Thanks from Steve Stott in Sutherlin Oregon U.S.A. :) :) 🌍🍻😁👍🏼
It’s an incredible country isn’t it and so diverse! So glad you enjoyed it, really appreciate your support Steve 💙
Brilliant video and beautiful scenery!! Thank you for all the laughs... Have not had the greatest of weeks with the eyes but this has definitely cheered me up by watching this. Hope all is well, take care of yourselves
Sorry to hear you’ve had a rough week mate so glad you enjoyed it
Well done again to the "dozy looking Brit and the Angelic Aussie", great video 😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂👍
Another brilliant vlog jon/jess. I must admit I would have been constantly looking over my shoulder down those dark narrow alleys, never the less you look like you're still having a ball. Take care and stay safe.
Thanks very much, strangely tho we didn’t feel unsafe just uncertain weather they were trying to scam us, 😊
My Saturday morning routine now, feed the dog make a cuppa and put the latest TBT vlog on.
Truly impressive how much Jess manages to eat, and the enthusiasm she has for her food, just as a viewer we can tell in the Generals eyes whether she has eaten that day or not 😂. As a fellow ( but not as slim)foody I can only admire the work Jess must put in behind the scenes to keep so fit with an intake like that 👍🏻. The no eye contact is 100% correct, so showing the Jess in mid flow for the giggles shows its not just Jon who’s up for some self embarrassment for our entertainment 💪. As always another brilliantly put together fascinating video 💕
😂😂😂 brilliant, from the comments u leave you so get out sense of humour, and love the comment about u can tell when she hasn’t eaten😂😂😂 love it 👍👍
Another excellent video. Have a fantastic time on your travels, please take care, we’re all looking forward to more of your fantastic builds and travels.
Thanks very much 😊
Got up early for the Saturday Special Jess and Jon Show Morocco Road Trip. Great one guys. That medina looked scary though. Oddly reassuring to see so many police about. Wish the UK had more bobbies like the old days. Morocco landscape not what I expected. Interesting. Safe trucking guys 👍😁
I notice you have trubel with some spelling words mate.
North Morocco somehow looks similar to Spain, green landscape but as long as you drive south it gets dry.
Thanks mate, yeah the police and army presence is insane, all the police cars, ambulances and fire trucks are all proper security conscious too with metal grates over all windows
Arguably one of the best travel channels I have watched. love the builds and the trips in the snow. the lot just a treat to watch the journey. fantastic channel thanks for sharing the journey.
Thanks very much that’s so kind and thanks for following along with us 😊
great video guys as always... loved the moon shine ha ha ha atb Daz
😂😂😂 thanks mate 💙
I was lucky to get through airport security with my mavic air...and managed to get it back home without any issue.But never risk it to take off:)).
No I’ve heard allot of people having it confiscated 👍
The worst thing isn't the washing up, it's the tandoori whispers after.😂
😂😂😂😂😂 tandoori whispers 😂😂😂
We just returned from Morocco. Seeing your videos makes me miss the place even more. Enjoy. Would be great to bump into you guys sometime.
Thanks very much Fabian, yeah would be lovely to meet u on the road or at a show one day 👍
Welcom to morocco
Thanks Mohammed 👍
Great clip guys. Love you guys.
Thanks very much 😊💙
Oh we soooo need a Phil & Keely/Jon & Jess meet up episode!!!
😂😂 they are a great laugh aren’t they, Keelys laugh gets me every time!
Absolutely brilliant, guys. You two are off your heads. 😂😂
😂😂😂😂 thanks phil 👍
Your channel and Philly & Keely (chapter by chapter) are my favourite van channels
Thanks 😊😊😊💙
I didnt know Carlos had a travel shop, i thought he only had the second hand drone business 🤔
😂😂😂 I hope not 😂
Australia, Asia, Europe (Norway especially 🇳🇴🥰) and now Africa!! Following & laughing with you to the end of the world 😁
We really appreciate you coming with us 💙💙 thank you 😘
great video funny and nice location 😀
Thanks mate 👍
Well! I don't know where to start 😂. Phenomenal editing! You go guys. Jon, I agree with Jess: no eye contact. I'm living vicariously and enjoying every minute of it. Thank you so much for sharing. Keep the jokes coming Jon. 👍
😂😂😂 thanks very much Shelly 😊
You guys and Philly & Keely are my two favourites.. So glad you watch them too!!
Thanks we love watching them guys 😊
Hi guy's, not sure which way you're coming back through Spain but ive lived there manys years on and off. If you fancy the west coast route i can recommend a few places that covers most of it. Caves of Nerja, absolutely stunning. Easy to walk around, no hard harts needed lol. Then Alhambra palace is worth a trip then over the Sierra nevada national park back to the coast. Mojacar, lovely little village perched on a hillside. Up to Cartagena, historical port well worth a visit and lots of walks to do. Next is Torrevieja and the salt fields (usually some wild flamingos there and you can have a swim/float in them). Next up Alicante castle, go up the Turbo lift and a nice walk back down (castle at the top obs😂) then up to Barcelona and yoir not far from France then. Have fun and see ya next week 👍♥️
Really appreciate this thanks Marco. Will add these to my places to visit 💙
Saturday is my favourite day of the week just to see a new upload . Love this channel , The best channel on this app . Keep being you're crazy selves and making us all laugh and smile . Have an amazing time .
Ah thanks very much I’m so glad you enjoy them 😊💙
Another great video guys,love your channel
Thanks mate 👍👍
Great jokes Jon and the parkour too, the rural Morroco looks amazing and nothing like Agadir. The people can be a bit forceful and wanting money but seem to be good overall, must have been a bit scary in the medina.
Hope to see more of the country over the next few weeks; would be quicker if not for all the wee stops for Jess😂
😂😂😂 a lot quicker, yeah we have had a couple of run ins this week with locals but then also met some diamonds, same everywhere I guess hey 😊👍
Saturday equation: Saturday Morning Kitchen + True Blue Travellers = 👌
😂😂😂 cheers mate 👍
You guys need an Insta360 X3 in Morocco. Takes care of not needing a drone. You've got the 3m pole and you're all set
Yeah we need to look at one of them to be fair 👍👍
Great content guys
Cheers mate 👍
Oh Jess speaking the old lingo! Salam Alaykum. Love it❤
She’s brilliant for that to be fair, where as I can just about do English
Watching you 2 Saturday morning doesn't get any better obviously with a coffee 😅 Have a safe trip away paul
😂😂 thanks Paul 😊💙
Amazing. So much fun to follow you. And your edits are really well done!
Thanks very much mate 👍
Morning, 💙
I’m a bit late, had a lay in this morning 👌🏼
Love that you’re in Morocco🇲🇦
That hike looked lush, even though you didn’t find the waterfall, “Jon, shut it, you muppet” 🤣😂
The blue city was absolutely gorgeous.
You will constantly be approached about everything you can think of because you’re English & because Jess is blonde.
It’s very much like Tunisia.
Jon, when you gotta go, you gotta go 🚽🧻 leave Jess alone.
That bloody “drone” 🤦🏼♀️
Walking up those dark alleys looked a bit scary, everyone wants to help, but then they expect to be paid, luckily you found some genuine people to point you in the right direction, for nothing.
Not sure about the financial state of Morocco, but Tunisia is a very poor country, so you’re constantly being hounded by people trying to help, but then want paying for it, it’s a closed currency so the more tourists, the better it is for them, 80% of the people are genuinely lovely & super friendly.
Anyway, looked beautiful so far, looking forward to the rest of the Moroccan adventure.
See you next Saturday 💙✌🏻xxx
I think muppet is a pretty accurate description don’t you 😂😂 bloody drone! He spent ages messing about with it. Absolutely vast majority of people we have met have been wonderful 💙 hope you have a lovely weekend
@@truebluetravellers Jess, if you look up the word ‘Muppet’ in the dictionary, it’s meaning is
‘Jon, from @truebluetravellers ‘ 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣🤣🤣🤣😂
Or that’s what it should be😂🤣😂
Watching the ‘short’ that you posted about the ‘drone’ was just the most hilarious thing I’ve ever watched, maybe the climate change affected his brain function 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
I’m glad your experience so far has been good, hopefully it continues.
Really looking forward for what’s to come next week.
Safe travels,
see you Saturday💙✌🏻xxx
Totally forgot to wish you both a happy Easter 🐰🥚🐣🐥
I hope you have lots of easter eggs to enjoy Jess, let’s hope Jon got you some 🍫🤞🏻🤔
Easter rules-;
🍫 for breakfast
🍫 for lunch
🍫 for dinner
I hope you’re following the rules 🤣😂🤣😂 💙 xxx
@@louisealston4497 I’m not much of a one for rules but these are some I can get on board with!!
Thanks again guys brilliant.
Cheers mate 👍
Another bloody brilliant vlog.
Cheers mate 👍
Loving the content guys keep it up 👍
So glad you enjoyed it thanks mate 💙
Jess, where did you get him? Jon, way to go man.
😂😂😂😂 he’s one of a kind that’s for sure

Thanks Tracey you too 💙
You two are absolutely ace.Keep it up.
Thanks 😊
Had my weekly catch up thank you both. Good to see the trip is progressing well. Looking forward to see where you go this week. Stay safe.
Thanks Lee 😊👍
Great video and good to see a country I wouldn’t want to visit. Jess on the loo interview was different but disappointed not to see toilet roll positioning 😂😂 Have fun and stay safe out there guys 👍🤗
Thanks for coming with us, it’s been and incredible experience 😂😂 loo roll (or kitchen roll currently 😂🤦♀️) lays on its side in a little cupboard to the side of the toilet so no rows about that on this trip 😂
😂😂😂👍👏
Fantastic ❤ love watching you two. No haters here.
Thanks mate 👍💙
Hi guys! Wonderful country. Stay safe, shouty man was a bit scary and I'm 18 stone. How much was the Tagine meal? looked scrumptious.
Thanks mate, it was £20, unbelievable hey, money goes a long way out here 👍
@@truebluetravellers
Yes New Jess and Johnny videos dropped
💙💙💙
Have a great time guys stay safe and. Enjoy
Cheers mate 👍👍
Stay safe and enjoy your trip. Great videos
Thanks 😊😊
I liked the different style of editing, Morocco looks a great place to visit. I love Moroccan food. Keep safe. Look foward to seeing next weeks episode.
Thanks very much mate 👍👍
Great to see you having an off piste experience in the hills trekking, the best way to explore. Another great vlog and I remember from experiencing the medina in Tunisia that feeling of who to trust, safe travels.
Thanks very much Neil 👍
What an amazing adventure. ❤
Thanks 💙💙
great vids guys x
Thanks so much! 💙
@@truebluetravellers .. informative but uou guys make fun xxxx..
Some scammers don't reflect Moroccan society, Moroccan hospitality... Scammers are in all big touristic cities such as Barcelona Paris.... So just pay attention when someone insist on offering a service,just avoid them .
Welcome to MOROCCO ❤
Couldn’t agree more. We said Morocco might be the friendliest place we’ve been and we’ve met so many lovely people and seen incredible things. Thanks very much we are really enjoying it 💙
@@truebluetravellers you're welcome 🤗
Well thats my fix. Thanks Jess & John for another great vid. I was a little worried for you when you had lost your way. Stay safe & see you next Saturday 🙂
Thanks so much Maria 💙💙 we will 😘
Always a great video❤ such a beautiful place to go vist😊
Thank very much 😊
Watching your adventure's while having a brew and can't help laughing, I've got tea coming down me nose now 😂😂😂👍🫶
😂😂😂😂😂 that’s what I like to hear 😂👍
You made me giggle again! :)
😂😂😂 thanks mate 👍👍
Heys guys another great vid, look forward to your travels stay safe. Keep up the great effort you both put in 🤪😃😂😂
So lovely to hear you enjoyed, thank you 💙
It's not a place I would have thought about going. It looks like a chilled, slow-moving place. The food looked good 💙
It is to be fair mate, until we get to Marrakesh 🤯😂👍
Spent 10 minutes in the garden this morning before breakfast and my weekly TBT fix. It's not just Jess who keeps needing to go... My 3 Chihuahuas couldn't decide whether breakfast, pee or poo was more urgent!
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Come on everyone …..! 10,000 views but only 1000 thumbs up …. Get clicking that thumbs up button ! 😀
Thanks mate 👍👍👍👍👍
Shite week but the Double J are here to cheer us up, I think for the food alone I’ve now put Morocco on my list of places to go! Stay safe and keep up the great work x
😂😂😂 thanks and I hope you have a lovely bank holiday weekend 😊💙
@@truebluetravellers I’m keeping it mellow peeps, just what I needed- hope you’re both enjoying the sunshine x
Love the toilet tales 😂 we all do it
😂😂 that we do 💙
Great vid as usual, Morocco is much greener than people realise. Defender in it's natural habitat.
😂😂😂 I know I’m amazed how green it is, even in some spots in the desert, 👌
Funny fact : Morocco is experiencing one of the most severe drought of its history
@@rifitto The no way, that’s crazy
Another good watch of the travels so far. Never been to Morocco or Africa to bee honest but some of those back street and some of those locals are similar to what I've experienced in Turkey. Look forward to next week's adventure
Yeah that’s what I think mate, I get turkey Tunisia sort of vibes quite allot 👍
Jon give the woman some privacy poor Jess. You don’t understand women bodies work different to men we have extra bits down there it can make a tiny wee feel like a monsoon and you don’t know until you go! 😂 I’m glad to watch the travel through you because I don’t think my anxiety would take being lost like that 😳 scary stuff happy Easter to you both ❤
😂😂😂 honestly she would be lost without me 😂 thanks donna 😊
