Marrakesh!

For the first time, I joined Miguel on his trip to Marrakesh. Each year he attends a trade show here and I was thrilled that I could come along! We had booked ourselves the weekend before into a little riad in the middle of the medina. It was magical! We had arrived by car from Casablanca so after a little nap we decided to make a walk and wander around town.

It reminded me a lot of our travels through Asia when we were in Turkey, Iran and Pakistan. The air in the medina’s filled with all sorts of spices, market stalls full of food, carpets, leather products and jewellery. We felt we needed to escape the chaos and wandered of to a quieter area. Had a nice lunch and ended up at our roof terrace with a mint tea listening to the sound of the prayers and seeing the sun setting above this fairy tale city. What a bliss!
