Arrival Medina

Yay! We arrived in Marrakesh (Medina) and were taxi'd to a square where two men were having a fist fight right in front of our car. Not as spectacular as it sounds, cause they were two thin asparagus-tarzans (=Spargeltarzan=thin men) one of which left on his vespa real quick before it really began.

Two other men from our hotel commenced to pick us and our luggage up. They had a wide wheelbarrow that led the way with our suitcases in it, through the narrow and crowded streets of old town Medina. Of course they wanted a tip, but so far the people are not as intrusive as expected.

I think our highlight so far is our Riad (not a typical hotel!) which is STUNNING.
I can't wait to see more of this.

We explored the streets of Medina shortly after our arrival, had a Morrocan dinner and got back at around 10pm. There are quite a few tourists walking the streets at all hours, so I feel safe and comfortable!!!Read more
