Driving Holiday In Morocco Day Twelve: Another Day In Marrakesh, 19 November 1997

Rose quite late. Cloudy morning, so changed plans re touring.

As part of our changing plans we delicately asked the concierge to find us a gentler guide who might take us to shops with less pushy merchants. I think the geezer listened.

Got excellent guide Moulay – went to see Ben Youssef Madrasa…

Janie & Moulay at the Ben Youssef Madrasa

…and the Saadian Tombs [see headline photo & below]…

…then back into medina proper, where we got some nice clothes for Janie at last and admired expensive antique shops.

Lunch at hotel, then restful afternoon by pool.

Super evening at restaurant Yacout – palatial surroundings and so much food and wine! Moroccan salads, chicken with olives, lamb tajine (we rejected a couscous dish) and pastilla au lait and almonds.

All the photos from the second part of our journey are on this Flickr album – click here or below:
