Marrakech, Take 3...

We had a mid-morning departure from Essaouira for our journey back to Marrakech, arriving at our hotel just after 1.30pm.

It's the third time we've been to Marrakech this trip, so we knew exactly where to go... or so we thought! We headed by foot to the main square, Jamaa El Fna, which was quiet, before the night time traders set up. We attempted to find the same shop we purchased items from last week, but ended up walking the laneways in vain.

Fortunately there are dozens of shops selling similar items, so we just had to find what we were after, and do the haggling dance from scratch. As the shop was tiny, I sat outside while Oliver negotiated the price... and despite starting one hundred dirham apart, she got it for her requested price 😁

Another couple of hours by the pool, dinner at the hotel, and we're ready for a flight to Portugal tomorrow to meet up with Bek and Jake.Læs mere
