... 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 ...

... one hour of Internet cost six dirham (less than $1 &#8211; not bad!). Since our current Hotel du Pacha has wireless but we have been unable to access it, we needed to check our email accounts and also &#8211; lesson learned &#8211; attempt to book accommodations in advance for our upcoming days in Fez! We spent just under an hour there &#8211; slow-going with the Internet connection speed (about a 5 out of 10), the crazy souq environment clanging onward outside the ...

... 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>

... parking lot to the riad. We would not have been able to find it alone. He picked us up the next day and drove us back to Casablanca. When we unloaded, I took 2200 dirham from my wallet. At an exchange rate of 8.3, this was about $265. So I was offering $15 more than we agreed on. Almost immediately he became irate and incredulous. He protested loudly about how we were cheating him. He said that we agreed on 50 Euros per ...

... evening fills with tables and outdoor restaurants. Later at night, though, the square becomes the preserve of hordes of local Moroccans out for a night of cheap entertainment. I have to admit to being somewhat disappointed with the food selections on the square. A recent episode I saw of "Bizarre Food With Andrew Zimmern" featured Morocco and showcased some of the weird eats served at the stalls on Djemaa El Fna, but save for the bubbly ...

... OF SNAKE CHARMERS (WITH LIVE COBRAS AND VIPERS) , ACROBATS, MUSICIANS AND A MYRIAD OF OTHERS PLYING THERE WARES. I DONT LIKE CITIES BUT THIS ONE WAS FUN. I ASKED ONE CHARMER IF I COULD PICK UP HIS COBRA AND HE MUST HAVE THOUGHT I WAS KIDDING BECAUSE WHEN I BENT OVER TO SNATCH HIM UP HE YELLED AT ME NOT TO. SISSY. HAD A PIGEON FOR DINNER LAST NIGHT.
