Marrakech
A very different feel from our usual February citybreak, and (myself as a very young child excepted) our first visit to Africa.
We stayed in a lovely Riad called 'Dar El Souk' where we could relax and be well looked after. Which was just as well as it was quite hard work out on the streets, dodging bicycles and mopeds which seem to appear from nowhere..!!
We had some interesting experiences, including a Full massage, sauna, seaweed wrap at a Hammam, deluges of Moroccan rain, and the resulting muddy passageways, and an evening at a stunning restaurant which included live music, and belly dancers.
Great place, and the locals were all very good humoured, even when you don't buy anything from their stalls...!! Click on the title above for the full set of photos on Flickr.
