... 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 ...

... 8211; this was a market area like none I&#8217;d ever experienced. It was loud, and smelly, and chaotic/crazy &#8211; and again, all the while, the horse-drawn carriages and donkey carts, and even mopeds and some CARS, are competing with pedestrians down these tiny, winding pathways of activity, with just centimeters to spare. It is totally wild!<br><br>After some souqing (just made up that word), we took a break at the spice market (here, the air REALLY ...

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 ...

... summit as a challenge till Andrea puts him right, although she can't make the a/c work....<br>Back at Fantasia &amp; another wander of the souks which gets me the haircut I probably should have got before we left. BTW, I've never seen so many barbers (as opposed to Berbers) in one place.<br>We joined 2 other On the Go groups and partook of the inevitable meal in the square before more souk wandering. Back in a heavy tourist area is a severe adjustment from living with the ...

... so glad I decided to splurge. After arriving I was shown to the main square which is about a 10min walk. The main square is alive with people, performers, snake charmers, and sadly monkeys on chains. The whole place is like nothing I have ever seen, or smelt. I walked to the square for a bit, then headed back to the hotel. My first day I explored the square and the souqs, got terribly lost for a few hours then went to the Marrakech museum. After a lot ...

... so full of life, colours, smells (not all nice however - pigeon **** at the tanneries where they soak the leather for example was enough to almost make me puke - was happy that they gave us mint to smell to help with the horrid smell) There are just so many people here, esspecially French tourists who have taken all the accomodation everywhere. More about that later...I really wish I speak French now, seeings most of the places I have been to so far it would have been ...
