Gran Canaria to Marrakesh

This morning we checked out of our hotel, drove to the airport and caught a plane to Marrakesh, Morocco. Duke had arranged for a driver to pick us up. We will be traveling with Brian and Jo Ann for the next couple of weeks. They arrived in Marrakesh yesterday and spent last night at a hotel near the airport. Our driver picked us up and then drove to Brian and Jo Ann’s hotel and parked at the shopping mall where the hotel is. We walked to the hotel to find them.

Then he took us all to our hotel in the Medina. He drove as far as he could then we walked.

Then we walked

We are staying at the Riad karmela, the hotel that we stayed at last time we were in Marrakesh. It a wonderful haven right in the Medina.

After a short rest we went out for a walk through the market.

For dinner we went to Le Foundouk, a restaurant recommended by our hotel.
