Time travelling around Marrakech

We had some confusion with the time this morning - the data package on our phone ran out last night, so the time was different to the tablet and must have been wrong... so we thought!

Turns out Morocco is on permanent daylight savings time, except for Ramadan (which starts Thursday), so the clocks went back an hour this morning. Just that no-one told us... and the tablet was still set to a German time zone 🙄. So, at a cafe for morning tea we were trying to look at people's watches to see what time it really was 🤣. On the upside, we got an extra hour today, and I got to ask all day "old time or new time?"

We did plenty of walking today to clean up the caches north of the city (16,000 steps, 10.2 km according to the tracker).

We saw old theatres, new theatres, museums and gardens, including the Yves Saint Laurent Museum and Majorelle Gardens, later owned and restored by Yves Saint Laurent and where his ashes are scattered.

We arrived back at our hotel around 2pm (new time 😁) for another sit by the pool, then wandered out to a local cafe where we had one of the traditional Moroccan soups for tea.Read more
