Here’s one from the archives 
Lian and I had a slightly extended 5 week trip to Morocco, thanks in part to RyanAir canceling our return flight and leaving a couple of hundred not very happy passengers at Marrakesh airport. Luckily for us, we weren’t in a hurry, so just waited the week (yes a whole week) for the next available Ryan Air flight…. what an incredible company!!
In total we spent around two and a half weeks in Marrakesh, which is (trust me) a very long time to be a tourist in this city By the end of it most of the touts and hustlers knew us and we weren’t hassled as much.
There’s plenty to do in Marrakesh, the main square: Djemaa el-Fna “assembly place of the nobodies” is the heart of the city. Locals and tourists mingle amongst the food vendors, orange juice stands and snake charmers.
Only tourists buy fruit from these stands… They’re about twice the price of the sellers a little further into the market.
The juice from these stands is great… And it costs only about 50 us cents a glass…
On one of our nights wandering around the city we spotted a crowd of people and a film crew… It turns out the British ‘Naked Chef’ Jamie Oliver is in town tasting some of the markets famous delicacies…
