... station and it would cost us 60d there and back its only 6 quid but its the principle now of the matter lol. Got back and used the internet to now try and find a riad to stay but everywhere is so expensive did manage to email one so hopefully we will have somewhere to stay. <br><br>We then walked to try and see the sights of Marrakech after having a lunch in a street cafe Ian had some dust my word for couscous not sure what it is looks like dust from the ...

... waiting with my name on a card ha. The taxi drove us to the edge of the medina as you cant get in with cars then the owner of the hotel turned up and a man with a large cart took our bags and started off down lots of small streets making turns here and there I am sure that we are going to get lost. We did get to the Riad and Mohammad who looks after the place told us to take a seat so we sat and he went in the kitchen and made us some amazing food and hot coffee it was ...

... the different spices were, what they smelled like (&#8220;come, smell, there is no snakes hiding here&#8221;), what they were used for, etc. In addition to the rich tumerics and deep paprikas, the dried lavenders and the sweet mints &#8211; we also were shown sandalwoods, ambers and musks, used as natural perfumes &#8211; tiny bushels of toothpicks, grown in nature that way &#8211; and small pressed pots of pigments, where a wet finger run ...

... on this beautiful, HOT (about 90 degrees, but no humidity), clear, sunny day. We spotted a tourist office and popped in for a better map &#8211; and at that point, I was wise enough to ask the cost of a taxi from Ville Nouvelle to Medina, the Old City &#8211; about a 30-minute walk away. No more than ten dirhams, we were told (exchange rate is roughly 7.5 dirhams to one US dollar). (Back to last night&#8217;s cab ride, where we negotiated down from 50 to 35 ...

... 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>

... inevitably there was no menu so we just got the base tagine, which was starting to get a little old. At the end of the meal was the also inevitable large bill not based on reality or quality ($35 for lunch in a small random town? Really?). We tossed down the minimum we could and moved on. The winding roads certainly weren't on the safe side, but having travelled on the death defying bus tours in the foothills of the Himalayas I could deal with this. The ...

... were actually friendly, tame, and in relatively good shape so they are better described as street cats than strays. We saw lots of locals feeding and petting them. None were fixed of course and I have never seen so many pregnant females in my life! We only saw a few dogs, most of which were either toy dogs that were obviously pets or large German Sheppard's or Rottweiler's that were obviously guard dogs. The one exception was part of the highway from the desert ...

... our way to a nearby hotel lobby to grab a quick drink before the restaurant opened. In light of our other options, this seemed like a good plan. There are certainly more chic places to imbibe in Marrakech, but by our standards and in the opinion of the wait staff and clients in the bar we soon wandered into, the gin joint we happened into was among the more trendy places in town. The proprietor clearly positioned his bar to attract both westerners and the particular breed of ...
