Sunday 2nd Cool but sunny – Marrakesh
Took the shuttle bus into town stopping near the Majorelle gardens and walking in to the Medina by another entrance.
It was more interesting as we passed everyday Moroccan shops and businesses seeing normal life.
Passing a heavily guarded building, we were stopped by security and asked to show Roger’s photos. He had just taken one of a doughnut tied to a door handle with a piece of string! Fortunately, he had not taken the guards in their colourful uniforms. They found it very funny.
Entering the souk from the NW we were in a quieter area with more crafts being made.
Watched a skilful young wood turner using foot and bow in fashion of biblical times. Bought magic box and snake box for the boys.
Founouks were small courtyards with balconied buildings on 4 sides housing craftsmen -very ancient buildings.
Found our way to the Jaama el Fina and took a more reasonable taxi home from a square beyond it.
Returned for late lunch, log writing and photoshop relaxation.
