Ten things to do in Marrakech
1. Experience the souks with all their chaos and diversity. Be sure to bargain with a stall owner (but only when you really want the item in question).

2. Visit le Jardin de Majorelle, wander through the cacti and be inspired by the bold blues and greens, like a Henri Matisse painting.

3. Visit Jamaa el Fna and buy an orange juice from one of the vendors.

4. Still on Jamaa el Fna, avoid the dentist with his array of molars, the men dressed in red and crazy hats who follow you playing cymbals and the men who try to put their mangy monkeys on your shoulders.

5. Take a break from the hectic crowds and heat and return to your Riad – an oasis in the medina.

6. Eat tagine – lots of it.

7. Drink mint tea – lots of it. It tastes like chewing gum and is served with lots of sugar!
Minty fresh!
8. Visit the mosques that dot the skyline (although you are not allowed inside unless you are Moslim).

9. Buy a pair of babouches, if you can get them down to a reasonable price!

10. Take the cooking class offered byLa Maison Arabe, and learn some of the secrets of Moroccan cooking.

Nice aprons guys! Julian, is that a buzz cut I spy? I can’t believe you get home so soon, how time flies!
Aw matching aprons!
I think I’m going to be sick.
But I’ll hold it in if you cook some delicious Moroccan food for us when you get back!:D
When you get your haircut in Avignon, you get what you’re given! The aprons were delightful weren’t they? Too bad we couldn’t bring them home with us
I said it on facebook, I told you before you left, and I’ll say it again here: I hate you
Hi Guys,
If you two ever decide to change careers, you both could become food and restaurant critics and columnists.
I look forward to sampling your new cooking skills when you get home.
Not long now. Make the most of the last couple of weeks. See you soon.
Love Dad (Greg) and Gina
As in enough hate to come back to Morocco with us?
I unpacked our last box today – guess where my holiday journal with the name of every hotel we stayed in, every restaurant we ate in and every sight we visited was? All my restaurant recommendations for Italy have gone to waste! At least until next time
Jules – more than enough
Nice photos, though you could have just stolen them from one of our cook books 
We’re organising a weekend away to Stanthorpe on the 10th,11th and 12th of July. I know you guys will probably be travelled and spent out by this point, but just in case you are interested, do you want to join us? Dan and Krista, PJ and some friends of mine from work are interested.
Looking into accomodation currently, but it will have to be cheap for most people to want to come, so money should be too much of a problem. Let us know and we can count you in.
Dave.
