Riad Sekkat Marrakech

... After a stressful spell though the buzz of Marrakech makes me appreciate all we have experienced and everything us Westerners have even more. Morocco is more amazing than i remembered with its incredible colours, culture and continuous backdrop of distant mountain ranges.

Efter att ha tillbringat natten på en kall flygplats i Barcelona var det otroligt skönt att igår eftermiddag äntligen komma fram till Marrakesh och få vila hela eftermiddagen på vårt toppenmysiga riad (typ hotell) "Marhaba”. Mot våra förväntningar var Marrakesh kallt och regnigt, så vi fick plocka fram elementet i rummet och dra på oss långkalsongerna.

We have been in Marrakech for three days now and I just finally made it into town because first I was sick then it was pouring down rain. What a drag. Anywho just thought I'd give a quick update since we aren't sure if we will have internet for the next couple weeks.

Thought I'd put in some general stuff

It really sucks to have such a weak stomach in Africa. I spent the better part of our first day in Marrakech worshiping the porcelain goddess, so I missed the first day in the city but felt well enough to go to the Marjane with Summer and Gavin where we loaded up on lunch supplies and had some incredibly delicious ...

... kind of ironic to be discussing during my adventure in Morocco, but some things about women are completely universal! I made an instant friend talking about guys, babies, and clothes hahahaha! She was so cool...I only spent two nights in their house, but I really do miss those girls. It was so special to be welcomed into such a tight-knit home like that one, and to be treated so lovingly.

The next day was the beginning of L'Eid! We woke up pretty early and headed to Latifah's (our ...

See said she broke her left nostril in Africa. Explain that to your children. From the souks we went back down to the bus and jumped on to go into the new town. We wanted to grab the other line to do the ...

... best be described as a blizzard. The police inform us that the road over the mountains will be closed until at least 6pm, which means we must make a quick decision as the snow is coming down fast and furiously. We can either stay the night right where we are, and attempt to make it over the mountains (with no guarantees that the weather will be any better the next day), or we can beat a hasty retreat back to Fez and along the coast to Marrakech, arriving there ...
