Another day losing ourselves in the alleyways and souks of Marrakech. It was really warm this morning as we headed out to find the Saadian Tombs and a palace or two. We even thought we might visit a museum we had passed the day before and a photographic exhibition…but alas we didn’t pass that way again!
I love the stalls and the displays, so much colour and bling! Asking the price of an item is risky business, which is a bit frustrating when you have no idea how much something might be and just want a starting point!
We walked over 20000 steps today, so a bit of a rest was in order this afternoon before we returned to Jemaa-el Fna to see what entertainment was on offer this evening.
We wandered for a while, but it was a bit too early for the action, so we found a great rooftop cafe and watched the sights from there while having our dinner.There were musicians, snake charmers, men with monkeys, astrologers, gamblers and assorted other characters…some were a bit dodgy! All wanted to separate you from as many coins as you were willing to provide!
Tomorrow we are up early and off to the countryside/ desert for a couple of nights. Hope the camels have stirrups!
This is the way to our Riad! Not the sort of place to get lost in, especially at night!
What are they doing with the coke bottles? Selling or is it a game.
