Поезд непло&#10 93;ой. Еду уже седьм&#10 86;й час. На тележ&#10 82;е разво&#10 79;ят напит&#10 82;и и круас&#10 89;аны. Отли&#1095 ...

... them some money so the best thing to do is not even to engage in conversation with them but Ian keeps doing silly things like asking where things are then we cant get rid of the people they are following us around the streets it making me really on edge! In the end we did not see any of the sights we just made our way back to the square to see if they had a newspaper as Ian wants to see the football scores when all of a sudden someone grabbed hold of me ...

... goods fake bags etc and then we got to the big square I did not want to go until the night time but we could not miss it really. We got dragged straight away by a woman doing henna so I now have another henna tattoo.It only cost me 8 pound but she was dissapointed and I think she wanted more. <br><br>We then went and had some local mint tea and walked some more amazingly we did find our way back to our hotel and we went and sat on the terrace in the sun. Got ready after that ...

... at the lower end of the Medina, was built over a period of fourteen years by Morocco&#8217;s top artisans in the 1860s. The palace itself occupies more than eight hectares and contains 150 rooms. Through the front gates, we walked through gardens with banana trees and dripping palms before arriving at the building itself. [Side note: after about an hour in the spice markets, again running for our lives in the wake of busy mopeds and ...

... like minutes &#8211; with the monkey reaching over and patting my cheeks, and tugging on my shirt, and generally scaring the **** out of me (visions of my face getting ripped off did come to mind&#8230;) &#8211; with a tug on the leash by the owner, the monkey did a back-flip (not even kidding!) onto the ground. And then what did the owner do? He picked up the monkey and threw it onto Murray&#8217;s arm, of course! Repeat results. Even though the monkey&#8217;s ...

... And oh my, we had the best balcony seats in the house as the sun turned the scene to a rosy glow and the square came alive w/ smokey food stalls, snake charmers, jugglers, magicians, et al as darkness descended.<br><br>All in all, a most magical night to top off my fantastic adventures in Morocco.<br><br>

... 360° view around. The whole Marrakech is completely flat and only the south is dominated by the Atlas mountains. Quite funny to see palms and storks [which come here from central Europe for the winter] on the background of snowy peaks. All the houses in the city have a satelite dish on their roofs and are always lower than palms and minarets. The minarets are an interesting thing as well. In each of them is nowadays a number of loudspeakers and prayers are served 5x a day, in a bit ...

... on top of the hump for an entire hour, and I spread the word that it is much more comfortable to sit side-saddle-like a proper lady. Soon the guys are loosening up and trying different positions, including lotus and riding backwards or flat on their backs. General hysteria reigns throughout the ride, especially when one male camel that seems to have the hots for some of the females commences blowing and snorting and foaming at the mouth. The Berber guides walk ...

... we put our best togs on in an attempt to blag the door-man into letting us in.  Unfortunately he saw right through us, refusing us entry.  And what, pray tell, would we have to wear to look around these gardens?  He looked us up and down and said "...Class!" throwing his head back in disgust. This was slightly galling coming from a man dressed as a muppet, but he did have a fair point - Mr R had a conspicuous bandage across his forehead and 7 days of ...
