Hotel Sherazade Marrakech

... 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.

Then there's just some nice lines " But lately there ain't been much work on account of the economy" "You and me Babe, how about it?"
back in Marrakech, I have my bearings and walk to Riad Jddi, near the bus station ...

So it's goodbye to Ahmed after a final pancake breakfast - he did a really good job. We travel back to Marrakech via the Waterfalls at D'Ouzoud, which are pretty good with a good level of water and a rainbow. However it's odd to be back with 'big bus' tourists (& their strange dress habits)and the never ending Arab sales patter. One guy tries to sell Andrea a choc ice for D30 which is £2.40.
