Avenue du President Kennedy, (formerly Hotel Siaha) Marrakech, Morocco
When Mustafa asked us the time we wanted to wake up on Monday we told him around 11, he told us that he set something up for us at 9 AM, how rude! It's okay, he was trying to help. So, we got up and boarded a bus to go find some camels. I really wanted to do it! So we took this long ride out to the desert...yes, I said the desert, and suddenly we see all these camels lined up with cloths over their humps. Oh my, this isn't a padded camel that we're going to go around a merry-go-round, this is...
Marrakech, Morocco dizzybg924We got to sleep in! No excursions today! Boy do I miss the days where I sleep in - I don't think I've done that for a number of years. Well, actually, I'm lying - I do that over the holidays when Mommy and Daddy are nice enough to let me sleep in to the wee hours of the afternoon when they know I'm exhausted after exams. Thanks Mom & Dad! After our sleep session, we walked to a "Grilleria" as recommended by Mustafa. It was sooooo good! I had a pizza, it was like a flat bread pizza, wonder...
Marrakech, Morocco dizzybg924It was veryyyyyy difficult, but we succeeded at waking up at 6 AM! We ran quickly to get another little hunny bun thing and then got on the bus for Essaouira! I wish I could tell you what happened on the way to Essaouira, what sights we saw, etc. but I really couldn't - we were knocked out from the second we got on the bus! It was about a 4 hour drive so when we stopped for a potty break, the driver asked us if we were alright, because we were definitely knocked out the whole time! We needed ...
Essaouira, Morocco dizzybg924Yay for class again - my this is rough! But, at least it's only about 5 more days of class before the end of the semester...my this has gone by fast! After class, I had to forego my siesta (actually I can't tell you the last time I took one - I need to be taking advantage of these things, sheesh!) and pack my bag for Morocco, woooo hoooo! Toby was kind enough to lend me her bag...somehow I thought a backpack was probably a little too small to travel with, but all I could take was a carry-on, ...

... sleeping. The terracotta painted cement render almost acts as a urban camoflage amongst the red dirt everywhere…I hope this doesn’t hang around like the red earth from Uluru and Alice Springs, that **** sticks like glue to your clothes fibres.
De retour a marrakech pour recuperer notre compresseur et pour voir le garagiste qui nous a change les joints de la boite de transfert. Lui aussi il nous a fait de la *****. Il n a rien voulu savoir Ne pas aller chez Autoland a Marrakech. On a passe la nuit de dimanche dans le superbe riad de jany et philippe que l on remercie pour leur accueil.
... my last morning and lunch on a rooftop near the Minaret storks - I finally don't get lost.
Suss out & use the airport bus (D20) on my personal no taxi vendetta and flight home straight forward and on time - still think easyJet is a shop with an airline attached.
On balance I'd pick Fes as the best of the 3 cities; Marrakesh is just rather too clinically touristy for m
... summit as a challenge till Andrea puts him right, although she can't make the a/c work....
Back at Fantasia & another wander of the souks which gets me the haircut I probably should have got before we left. BTW, I've never seen so many barbers (as opposed to Berbers) in one place.
We joined 2 other On the Go groups and partook of the inevitable meal in the square before more souk wandering. Back in a heavy tourist area is a severe adjustment from living with the ...

... questions by noting that the restaurant's name 'Canto' stood for 'Cat'. We wrapped everything up by 8, made it quickly back to the hotel, lumbered down a block with our awkward luggage before thankfully hailing a non rip-off cabbie. The train was on time and we were the first 3 in our 4 person compartment so were able to command all the good space for our stuff. The fourth member of our compartment came in and was very accomodating, and a ...
