How do you descibe Marrakech?! Busy, bustling, bright vibrant colour everywhere - and full of noise, diesel fumes and traffic! We went by day and looked around the souks, and then again at night and sampled the entertainment and the cafes in the main square. We also hopped onto one of those little trains that take you all round the back streets and into some of the more affluent areas.
The traffic on the roads [cars, horse-drawn carriages, hand-pushed carts, but mainly thousands of 50/90cc motrbikes] was even more chaotic than in Cuba! How we all passed safely through some of the small streets and junctions, I'll never know - and there never seems to be any bad temper when vying for space on the roads, everyone accepts it all with good humour.
We were hassled a bit by street performers and beggars in the main square, difficult to deal with sometimes. However, we all enjoyed kebabs and chips at one of the cafes which spring up in the square each afternoon ready for the evening.
