morocco!

Ok so here I am after two days in Morocco, and I must say, it's pretty awesome!
We arrived here at 12am Sat morning, and went to sleep at about 3am after a lovely mint tea. Unfortunately we had to wake up again at 7am though. We started the day with a walk through the Souks, which was insane. I loved it. There were so many things to see and smell (unfortunately) and it was just utter madness! At first it was a little funny hearing all the men making comments about "i love you" etc but then after a few too many "hello white cheese" and far too much unecessary contact, I got a little over it. We had some free time t get lunch, and we found this cute little restaurant where a ;eal was never more than $10. In the afternoon we did a scavenger hunt in the Souks and got to talk a little to the locals etc which was pretty cool.
At night we went to a 'dinner and a show' thing, with your traditional Moroccan meal, followed by a horse show which turned into Aladdin! It was fun.
The weather here is fantastic too. Blue sky all day, with about 15 degrees in the morning and 30 plus in the afternoon until about 7pm. Im counting on getting a little tan here, it's already started!
Day two we started off by going to see a couple of touristy buildings, but they didn't end up being anything too exciting. At lunch we took a kebab back to the hotel and ate it by the pool, followed by a lovely swim. In the afternoon we went to the famous gardens here. To get there we hired these horse drawn carts - it was super cool! Then we had the afternoon to ourselves, which we spent hanging out by the pool and soaking up the sun.
Well, there's a little update on what'e been going on here, it's fairly fantastic and it's only been two days!!
