Roads have started to get a bit worse now, the mini is a bit bumpy but still running fine. Marrakech is so different to casablanca, more touristy but cleaner and more modern. We saw our first camel today! Nobody can work out why there are just dozens of people wandering up and down the motorway miles from any town. Heading off into the souk to check out the trinkets and snake charmers. We thought all the rally guys would be at our hotel but so far only two that aren't in our group have showed up. Everyone is contemplating the end of hot showers and a roof over our heads after tomorrow night.
Doesn't feel like christmas eve today, but the hotel has a token tree in the lobby, everyone has lost all sense of what day and date it is, (not drink related ;)
Emails only work as an when the phone network is allowing it.

Merry Crimbo guys .... Africa has that effect on folks too.. timeless. ;-)
Enjoy the 'Pink City' while you can.

PS The wandering folks.. are usually nomads.. local folks walk miles to get from place to place..they can't afford cars like us guys.
Just stop and ask them ..
