Setting off

Setting off at 8.30 with Denise kindly giving us a lift to Bingham train, we were soon on our way to Gatwick. Our flight was at 15.00, and James had access to a complementary lounge, so we had a glass of vino and lunch on the house.
Arriving at Marrakech about 18.35, we were met by the cool, stern gaze of the passport control chappie. A taxi rushed us through the crazy busy streets as the sun was setting. It was rush-hour but he soon delivered us to our hotel next to the train station.
Desperate for a beer, we headed to the bar, where the bar man spoke English, French, and local Arabic. Two beers and a nicoise salad later, we both felt a little more human although ready for bed. Even seamless travelling can be so tiring!

I spent yesterday trying to decide what to pack as after checking, we decided we needed more layers for cool nights, and I needed to cover my shoulders to be respectful. My bag seemed heavy and full, but surprisingly, it wasn't much more than James.

Tomorrow morning we will catch the train to Casablanca at 9.30.Read more
