This weekend, I am exploring Marrakech Moracco with Brandon! We are staying in this absolutely stunning hostel with free internet and computers so, even though I don't have a way to post pictures while I'm here, I figure I may as well update you guys on this trip.
We landed in at the airport and passed through customs. We only had one minor snaffu- but hopefull it will be the only one of the trip. Stupidly we forgot that we can't use our debit cards outside of Europe. Luckily bBrandon had a different ATM card on him and withdrew enough cash for the both of us! I'll Just have to pay him back when we get home!
We found a cheap bus instead of a taxi that dropped us off in an excellent location. We are staying right off the main sauqre (Jemma El Fna) in the Medina. The sqaure was bustling with little food stands, dried fruit stands, and shops. We almost had the wool pulled over our eyes at one restaurant but a nice French lady pointed out a discrepency on the menue to us and we were fine. So in otherwords, I may actually get to use those 6 years of French after all! The food was delicious we had chicken and lamb kebabs and bread and veggies.
After dinner we walked around the sqaure we peeked in some shops. It's going to be fun haggling in the markets! I'll keep you all posted! Until then, I'm going to go relax by the pool under the night skym or maybe on the poof chairs in the courtyard, at our hostel that is only costing us 25 dollars a night! Score!
I think I'm going to love it here.
Seriously? Don't you ever stay in London? I'm ridiculously jealous.
