... being no seats and a million people trying to get into the carriages so at least we have a seat and can rest. The taxi driver was another scam artist at the begining he asked for 25d one way then when we where in the taxi he said oh its 50d one way so I was having a row with him about it, too funny the way once you are in the taxi the price will change so that you have no choice but I would not back down in the end we agreed that he would wait for us at the ...

... space that people have why would you invade it so much just deal with your own little space its so rude!<br><br>Apart from the idiots in front of us the flight was ok we thought it was only 2 hours but it turned out to be 3 as Morroco have the same time as us back in the UK. We got off the plane and had to wait ages to get through passport control then when we got out there was a man waiting for us with the name of the Riad, I always wanted to come to the airport and have ...

... if there was some history or reason behind these storks, and/or why they chose this particular square to call home, but I did find out that Dar Bellarj, Marrakesh&#8217;s premiere arts centre nearby, once was used as a stork hospital (bellarj is Arabic for stork). Connection?!<br><br>After lunch, we walked through a different area of the souqs containing more spice markets, and had quite a few offers of "free demonstrations" by Marrakechis as to ...

... a big deal, just scary), and then the man turned around and shoved that women straight into the faces of two horses who were attached to a carriage coming down the souqs&#8217; pathway! People instantly came from everywhere to watch this fight (comical), as Murray and I just tried to avoid getting hit and focused on getting the hell out of there. It was intense! We really wish we knew what they were fighting about &#8211; I thought that maybe the man had clipped ...

Met a fine fellow from Wales as a hopped off the bus in Marrakech (from Essouria). He was looking for an economical riad to stay and I knew just the place - the riad I'd dumped my rugs at just days prior.<br><br> After settling in, I invited him to tag along w/ me to grab a geocache at Menara Gardens. LOL ...

... the aforementioned drawbacks we really liked Marrakesh. It is a timeless place of mystery and beauty and there is always something to interest the traveler. It could occupy a traveler for at least a week probably two. And Marrakesh must have also liked us too as we had quite a time leaving it. That is to say that on top of our usual reluctance to move on it took us for ever to get the transport sorted. As the buses had already left we planned to take a "grand ...

... then a wander. One of the most amazing sites was to see cranes building their nests on the tops of the old palace walls. Then back to the square for a rabbit tagine with raisins for me and an omelet for Elly. Note on Moroccan food so far. For a nation that prides itself so much on spices the food is unusually bland. The chicken with preserved lemons and olives should have been sharp and rich, the rabbit likewise ...

... walked to the second pass Tizi n'Tagharat (3456m). When we did get to the top of the first pass, turning left meant another 400m climb over the ridge separating the two passes! That didn't make it the easiest of days and then cloud soon prevented us descending (couldn't see the path anymore!) all the way down from the second pass. We love our tent, sleeping bags, and even those 10 minute pasta meals! Eassaouira on the Atlantic Ocean allowed us ...
