Morocco here we come! 🇲🇦
It’s half term, so we’re off to Marrakesh for a week. Currently sat in the biz lounge having breakfast. I’ll let you know how it goes.

Stop over in Madrid. Just enough time for a couple of cheeky scoops in the biz lounge - Sliánte!
shareNice!

shareMade it to Le Meridian Nifs Hotel. Getting a taxi was interesting (everybody shouts at each other here). Moroccan money is a closed currency, meaning you can’t get it outside of Morocco, so I’ve got a stash at the airport 12.5 Diram to the pound, so not too difficult to calculate costs. Early night tonight and chill by the pool tomorrow.
shareFor breakfast, take some green tea with mint and churros. It's traditional there, and absolutely delicious.

And don't miss eating a Bastilla (pronounced 'bastela')

Top tips!
shareDid green tea with mint and churros this morning - delicious!
shareNice.
Have some pastry too. Moroccan pastry is excellent. Just be sure to handle it with a kleenex or to have a bathroom available to clean your hands (otherwise they'll let you with sticky fingers).
Milkshakes are quite traditional too, though they're more of a summer drink. The one with almonds deserves a try.
And don't miss street markets, the souks. They're lovely.
And visit Fez. The medina deserves a journey. 'Medina' means 'city' in arabic language, but in this case the word refers to the old city.
We noticed a lady in the breakfast hall, kneading dough, baking it and serving it up, so that’ll be tomorrow’s treat.
shareAndy living the life! I bet you could find some amazing hashish as well.
sharedon't do it without the fez on
