Marrakech – Setti Fatma – Tahanaoute – Marrakech 130 Km
Marrakech in February has mountains to the south that are covered in snow – the High Atlas. That was irresistible to a man with who has bought his bicycle with him and has escorted two ladies around the town for a few days.
Jardin majorelle created by the painter Jacques Majorelle and was delightful
We stayed in a delightful Riad, a town house that had a roof garden with a courtyard that was normally open to the elements. As it was winter max temp 24/25 they had a plastic roof but we still shared our living area with birds.
A 4:30 start and a taxi ride to Manchester got us to Marrakech for morning coffee. An instant culture shock as there were only a few differences from Old Delhi thirty years ago. The differences being mobile phones the Internet and scooters. It was a delight watching Kate’s face as we wandered throught the city.

As a family we travelled to Lincoln in the Berlingo. It would be fair to report that Lena and Kate complained about the comfort of the vehicle until they went to sleep and on awaking the abuse for the vehicle’s comfort was ten times as bad. Lynne and I found this extremely amusing!
