... had
seen quite a lot of greenery but later when asking people they said it had rained
a lot for this time of year but hadn’t really thought things were THAT green.
Later I thought what we probably saw were olive trees and cactuses, which are
abundant but don’t need a heap of water. Case solved, mission complete.

We went to meet
the sign with our riad’s name on it, and the man holding the sign, and got a
lift to our accommodation. Very ...

From the fun flats of Marrakech...we made our way to the High Atlas mountains for well...mountains of magnificent hiking and views.

Jebel Toubkal stands at 4200m above sea level and at that is the highest most point in northern Africa and also a bit of a mission! We made it up the mighty mountain in a few days and did some sleeping, sun burning and Scrabble in there as well. An absolutely incredible adventure!

Back down and all set to embark on a road trip to Fez!

... tonight to a recommended restaurant across town. Good but, unlike most places, way too much food – 'American’ oversized helpings.

Tomorrow is Monday and most museums close in Spain on Mondays so we’ll be sightseeing mostly. We have no specific plans to see anything with an organized tour…..we’ll just use a tourist information guide from the Tourist Bureau at the airport and poke about town.

Apparently nothing is free in Marrakesh. We where caught out last night in a thunder storm, the likes of which we have not seen since leaving Australia all those years ago. We found shelter under an umbrella which we where than asked to pay for the use of the leaking thing, 3 pounds. We went back into the rain and got soaked through. We have spent our last morning trying to figure out how the local bus system works, but as there are no signs on anything and we are afraid if ...

... he originally asked finally getting away for about £40. Yes I know you could have one made in Bangkok for £0.80 but you know the maxim "When in Marrakech get ripped off like a tourist" Then we headed to Immodium Central for Supper also known as the main square. We were down to our last 240 Dirham (£15)after blowing our cash on strange Jellabis. Never mind we could eat in the square. Like all things in Marrakech was divided into zone. Snail ...

... us (see photo above), but if you can, Ed swears it's a tasty treat! - If you still have any money left, you can go and get some soft serve ice-cream for $0.25 or splurge on a couple of scoops of Gelato for $1.25. Lowlights: - Repeatedly saying "La shoukran" (Arabic for "No thank-you") to hawkers of souvenirs, henna, spices, and even food. - Cab drivers, stores owners, and guides trying to rip us off because they think tourists are too ...
