Bonjour,
After leaving Oualidia, we headed to Marrakesh. En route, we decided we might want to start looking for a place to stay...good thing too, as it quickly became clear that many places were either closed or full because of the holiday weekend (Aid al Kabir).
And while the Marrakesh medina is fabulous, it's also pretty zany, so this time, we thought we'd try something new...
We ended up at Les Deux Tours, located in the Palmeraie, a leafy area about 15-minutes drive from the medina. This place was a huge hit with Anna and Tommy. While "peaceful" is not usually a word associated with Marrakesh, it fits here (at least until the KBATs showed up).
It had turtles and turtle ponds.
It had frogs.
It had tree swings.
It had a comfy hammock.
It had a heated (rare here) pool in an Andulusian-style garden.
It has airy bedrooms.
(Just kidding. It's just one of the resting areas or something in the garden).It has good courtyards for studying Arabic.
And it even had convenient local transportation.
(Again just kidding, although these nice fellows were parked right outside the gate).The next morning, we headed into the Ville Nouvelle for some very successful art shopping, because, as heaven knows, we need more stuff to have to get back to the States.
Then it was off to Casablanca to pick up Sarah & Lucy!
A bientot,
Kim
