Marrakech

We've arrived in Marrakech - by plane having decided that we had done enough overland/oversea travel. Extraordinary city, centered around the square and the souqs. Finding a beer however is a little tricky and involves waiting until 7 pm, walking about 3 kms and paying up to $7 a glass.

Ben with the snake charmer - smiling while at the same time dying of embarressment


Dinner at the main square. Grilled eggplant, mixed salad, olives, chicken tagine, lamb tagine, couscous and drinks (think water rather than beer or wine) for about $6 each.


The medersa, the old theological college. 4 students to a room here, and we think space is limited for PhD students at CSU!!!


The oldest thing in Marrakesh. The descriptions were in French (useless) so we're not quite sure but we think it's the ablutions block for the mosque opposite.

Yes Ben finds another loo (you can just make out the pipes). This time 12th century and with private cubicles!!!

Donkeys, one of the main methods of goods transport, along with the horse and carriages which are used as taxis


The street where our Riad is.
