Final day in marrakesh
June 18 in Morocco ⋅ ☀️ 22 °C
Our first day without an alarm- but the rest of our roommates had other plans 😭 We took a leisurely stroll for some breakfast. Found a very fancy patisserie. We decided to get 3 “breakfasts” but the waiter wanted us to get 2, we said no we are hungry and the 3 small pastries detailed did not seem enough.
Breakfast arrived and it was 3 large pastries- a pain au chocolat, a croissant and a pain au raisin, a coffee and orange juice. 3 very full girls.
We walked through the centre to the saidian tombs but they tried to charge us €10 euros each so we decided it wasn’t worth it.
We then walked to a garden which was closed and then walked through a pretty bit of the medina to a mosque and gate. On the way we saw sheep skins and sheep horns in carts from the sacrifices the day before ewww.
We then walked to medresa ben Yousef- an old Islamic college. May have been one of the prettiest buildings ever. We watched how they renovated it over 5 years for apparently $30000.
We then searched for some lunch while feeling very very queasy and decided the best bet would be returning to the hostel. A very quick walk back to the hostel and ordered some houmous and bread for lunch. They did forget to make Lilah’s lunch tho.
Then decided to chill in the sun/shade for the rest of the afternoon. Made friends with some English people and then headed out for dinner.
Had falafel pittas for dinner and ice cream for desert. Headed back to the hostel for some more card cames.
Then the hostel cat decided to mark its territory on my bag by spraying it eww. Now it smells of plum hand soap and hoping it stays like that.
Then we returned to the room got packed and went to bed nice and early ready for our flight back tomorrow.Read more
