Morocco 27/28 July 2007

Final short descent from Aroumd to Imlil where we said goodbye to our cook who had produced varied vegatarian meals in a tent to high standards of hygiene (no tummy upsets - very important when camping and the loo is a hole in the ground), and to our muleteer.
Drove back to Marrakech where we spent the afternoon haggling in the souks. We bought a lampshade for 50 Dirhams, much to the disgust of the shopkeeper who originally asked 1500 Dirhams. We also bought three tagines (a decorated one for Rob and Lee for their new home, a plain one for Mark to use, and an unglazed one for Jenny for its aesthetic qualities) for 260 Dirhams with the deal being concluded with kisses for Mark from the shopkeeper (we must have paid too much) but Jenny was too quick for him and fled the shop before he could catch her too.

Had a final meal out in a hotel where we had our first alcohol for a week - a bottle of Moroccan wine.

Flew home on Saturday.
