A nightmare journey to the airport, that will teach me to book a flight leaving Friday evening. Gridlock getting out of London. Just made the plane but it was touch and go. Arrived Marrakech at midnight so didn't see much last night. Spent today exploring the alleys and streets of the Medina. The main problem is dodging the scooters which fly through the winding lanes with merry abandon. People everywhere. Snake charmers, tattoists, painters the city has it all. And not to much hassling so far, much to my surprise as I have heard some horror stories. Of to the atlas mountains tomorrow so will be internet free for a couple of weeks. Scary.
