Morocco

Just thought I'd blog some likes and dislikes about Morocco, but will blog further and with more photos when I've got some more time.
We went to Marrakech for four days this last week.

Likes:
The traffic - absolute chaos
The orange trees that grew 'wild' along the pavements.
The smells - some unfamiliar, some all too recognisable :)
The fact that you could shop after 5.30
The people
The bartering
The weather (though it did rain a fair amount on our first day)
The architecture
The mint tea
The call to prayer
The snake charmers
The monkeys in the marketplace
The couscous royale (mmm tasty)
The airport (seriously stylish)
Having to hold the torch for the guy who came to fix the electrics in our hotel room
The mini taxi we travelled in that leaked rain onto us

Dislikes:
The dishonesty of some people (like the guy who said he didn't want money for having his photo taken with us, and then gave us serious grief when we didn't give him any)
The olive trees that grew 'wild' along the pavements (I'm not an olive fan!) (nah, they were cool in concept to be fair)
People manhandling Joshua (ruffling hair is fine, but grabbing is pushing it...)

There were more of both - I'll probably add to this post from time to time, as they come to me.
