Marrakech Express…

Filed under: Thoughts — katie @ 3:23 pm

Hello all!

 Well we are just back from fab weekend in Marrakech and have gone mad on everything!!!  Saw some fab stuff and seriously thinking now about bringing some of those ideas back here!

So looking into all sorts of ways of importing some great accessories for the house etc - anyone with any tips on best ways to go about not getting completely fleeced all welcome!!  One can only carry so many carpets back through customs!!  Just joking - of course we wouldn’t do that but did see some beautiful rugs, throws, curtains and tableware to die for!!  We think with the travel industry giving Morocco a big up at the moment, we should make the most of it!

Fly Easyjet - easy unless it’s foggy, then you end up in Casablanca like we did!  But hey it’s an adventure and whilst all we saw was the interior of Casablanca airport, at least we can say we have been there!!

Another tip - don’t drive - nobody should drive there and the ones that do shouldn’t be allowed!  Bonkers!!

Tour Guide - we had a fab one who we named Slim Shady - he definately wasn’t slim and probably more than Shady but hey, he made us laugh and took us to some really cool little places that we know we would never have found in a million years so can’t complain about that!  But haggling is an art form that we only really got a taster for but feel we could turn into pretty mean hagglers given a little more time!

Anyway, watch out for a little taste of Morrocco appearing here soon…

More as we haggle…
