Switch tours today

Another 30 degree day today.
This tour finishes after breakfast so then I pack up, say goodbye to Debbie, my Israeli roomie and move to the next hotel.
Hotel Meriem is 4 star and very flash!!
2 swimming pools with bar, comfy beds and the hotel shiny😂

The room isn't ready yet so I make my way to the Yves Saint Laurent Berber art museum and Marjorelle Garden complex I have booked for 11.30.

On the way I get an iced coffee at Starbucks and call into a small Berber farmers market. I buy some lip balm made from the "famous" Moroccan Argan oil with orange blossom. It's good.

The museum and gardens are interesting.
I also have lunch in the garden cafe.

I head back to the hotel, calling into Starbucks again for a bottle of water and can Earl Grey tea.

I get my room, get changed into my bathers and have a lovely cool swim. Just what I needed to cool the body temp down.

I meet my new room mate for this next tour. She is German Swiss, lives in Switzerland near the German border. Her name is Marion. Nice lass

At 6 pm we meet in the lobby to introduce ourselves to the group and tour leader. There are 11 women and Chama our female guide. This is a women's only tour. The majority are from various places in the US, 1 from Quebec Canada, 2 from UK, and us.

After the meet and greet Chama takes us to a restaurant to have Ftour, which is the meal they have to break their fast during Ramadan. It's good, a cross between breakfast and lunch.
Then to bed, we have to leave tomorrow at 7.30 amRead more
