Marrakech...finally here! Less than 2 hrs from Lisbon - almost a let down after many months of waiting for 'The Day'.
Our fellow air passengers today were from all over the world but the majority seem to come from Switzerland. Family groups, friends, business people - very young to quite senior. I keep forgetting how close countries are to each other when you live in Europe.
28C at 3:30 pm according to the flight deck. Perfect for extending the beautiful summer in Edmonton - I can almost (but not quite) forget the coming snow.
Even though we're here a day early than the start of the tour, G Adventures met us at the airport. We changed Euros to Dirhams at the airport - 300 Euros bought 3100 DH. So... that meant the meal tonight cost approx 8.50 Euros for chicken with lemons Tagine, a pot of mint tea, fresh bread, and olives. Amazing price for amazing taste.

Didn't do much exploring today as it was a travel day. Enjoyed a Mojito at the hotel after checking in, read a Moroccan travel book and went for super. Tomorrow the Medina and some bargaining before meeting our traveling companions in the late afternoon.
You're finally there! Morocco will never be the same again. It will be better than ever!
