... 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 ...

... toward the Saadian Tombs about 1km away, managing to get lost in the narrow Medina streets for a while &#8211; a very easy thing to do. (A nice boy helped navigate us out of a few backstreets, for the mere price of five dirhams!). The tombs were quite interesting. They were built by Saadian Sultan Ahmed el-Mansour ed Dahbi in the years leading up to the sultan&#8217;s death in 1603. The sultan spared no expense in creating his tomb, called the ...

... all topped with freshly-grated cinnamon!). Interestingly, during our lunch, a funeral procession passed by &#8211; 7-8 men carrying a rough wood platform raised high above their heads, with a body on top, covered with blankets. I had only ever seen that on TV.<br><br>[Fourth side note (sorry, I lied above): cats. There are kitty cats (or shall I say, &#8220;kitty witties&#8221;?) everywhere in Morocco &#8211; on the streets, in the plazas, even hanging out in ...

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 ...

... to make mint tea...delicious by the way. We also did a 20 minute camel ride although it wasn't as much fun as in Egypt because all the camels were tied together. as we drove through the mountains, we could sea snow caps and it was amazing. After we stopped to make lunch reservations, we did a hike that I had been dreading but it turned out okay. We saw the gorgeous waterfalls buried in the cliffs and then hiked all the way down. Next we went to lunch at ...

... others for more money even though you already paid another guy. We weren't keen to hold the snakes so we photographed from afar. The monkeys however Beth and I held. You must check out the videos on you tube. http://youtube.com/user/sgskinny We ventured back into the souks, this time to buy. We found our way to the spice area and Steve found the guy he wanted to buy from. So they do magic and ...

... Chaos reigns in parts as Moroccans in their thousands seem to walk around looking for whatever it is they are after. Perhaps today its pottery, or spices, or a cooked sheep's head. Or an entire sheep for that matter. It is fairly common to see a live Sheep draped over a man's shoulder as he walks away, or sitting on his lap as he rides a motorcycle through the streets. Everyone wants to help you and point you in the correct direction. Sadly like many other ...
