Public bus to Marrakech

We had booked a public bus to take us to Marrakech about 3 hour drive.. The bus left at 9 from near to the harbour, it was quite full but good to have more space and a higher view.

The journey was uneventful and we went out to find lunch after checking into our rooms.
We went to a noodle bar just nearby and it was very tasty .

After wondering round a shopping centre and checking out a posh supermarket we went back for a nap.
I have been taking Paracetamol for the last 48hrs to keep me going as I have James bug now. I thought I was doing well having no teen ill as most of us have.

We were heading out at 4.45 to meet a guide to take us round the medina and square.

We piled into Taxis our driver was good but one of the either was crazy!
We were dropped off near to Koutoubia Mosque with it's 12th Century minaret which is visible for miles around.
The medina wasn't as busy as in Fez. It was interesting and we are all acclimatised to the bustle now. Motorbikes pulled carts just able to get through the narrow lanes and people loaded high with goods. We had heard that the vendors are very pushy in Marrakech but didn't really notice this.
When we came out into the Djemaa-el-Fna Square, this is the largest public place in Morocco, it was alive, people selling all sorts setting up stalls, women offering henna tattoo's, acrobats performing and much more.
We walked across one side as we went to a spice shop to be shown some of their goods. James brought some foot cream.

We were both sagging and were happy to go to dinner in a rooftop restaurant which was nice and cool. It was very busy but there were lots of staff. We just had a starter salad each and shared some chips. Both were very good.もっと詳しく
