Marrakesh

After having been cheated by Ryan Air once again with newly invented charges, I arrived in a sunny Marrakesh after a couple of weeks with the typical dull English grey sky. The old town with all its preserved buildings in Arabic-style, mosques, narrow market lanes and grand guesthouses is a top-tourist attraction itself but the biggest tourist trap is the central square, all sorts of attractions, activities and people gathering during the day. In the afternoon and nights the place converts to a huge eatery by over a hundred mobile restaurants, arriving at nightfall. Marrakesh has also a modern part built by the French, just next to the old town, but for a genuine experience, a stay in old Medina is essential.
