On to Marrakech

leavign tinehir and stop at a world heriatage site. it is a kasbah and a site where the trading caravans were guraded from. Our driver is good and that makes me very happy as we go over a mountain highway thatis far and away the most impressive I have seen or travelled. Huge exposure on tight narrow winding road. then get to Marrakech and the traffic is beyond description. all kinds of vehicles with no apparent rules exhibit the bigger vehicle has right of way. It kind of flows with individual drivers weaving in and out. Got to our Riad and settled and I took Verne and Liz and Phil out to the restauarant I found earlier on the square for dinner and a brief tour of the souks and square and to bed.

Brekkie - walk with Robbin to Museum and then I find my way back and over to Artisans |ensemble for some painless shopping. fixed prices and noone husseling me. I've seen the souks and and wandered through them but find them overwhelming. Was going to mail some stuff home but can't do that (for reason I don't understand) until the day after I leave. OK. Went with Hamman with group and found it interesting and enjoyable. steam bath and then a woman attendant puts savon noir on me front and back and then after further steaming rubs me all over with a coarse mitt visibly taking off skin. then a shower and relaxing with some mint tea. One more sleep and then off to London.
