I did enjoy it, but I failed to bring back some sun.  I couldn't
afford the excess baggage for that.  It's not just honey - they
put sugar in everything.  I knew they liked their tea very sweet
over there, but they did it with pretty much everything, to a
diabetes-inducing intensity.

There's not a lot to see and do in Marrakech unless you want to
sit in the sun and read - which is just what we planned, so
that's OK.

The only real downside to the holiday was the disasterous start.
Our direct flight from Gatwick to Marrakech took off from
Heathrow and flew via Casablanca.

They do.  One guy insisted on our giving him a tip for showing
us the way to the post office despite our protestations that
we knew exactly where the post office was (it was the big,
post-officey-looking building in front of us bearing a big
neon sign proclaiming 'Poste').

I met some muslims from Leeds while I was there too. What a
coincidence.
