Set off from Gatwick airport using Ryanair (or was it Easyjet, can't remember). No problem with small cases or - that nuisance - the plastic bag for liquids, but what did happen? My contact lens lotion emptied itself all over the contents of case so couldn't use contact lenses during whole of stay. No shops in the Medina that sold such a thing as contact lens lotion.
Had a long wait to board then was sitting in plane for nearly 45 minutes.
Crowded plane, uncomfortable seats and sqashed at armrest.
OK at Marrakesh though, met by Ben and a driver, and short ride in nice new air con car to Riad Kniza.
Riad Kniza is in tiny alley near souk selling food - near Bab Doukalla, three carved gateways in the ochre city wall. Outside the wall is mayhem of city traffic, inside in mayhem of pedestrians and little motorbikes.
We have duplex accommodation, dark rooms, carpets, huge bed, nice cushions on floor, carved antique furniture. Very helpful people.
Snack lunch at about 3.30 which was tea, fried 'finger' food and little rolls (pastilles) stuffed with chicken and salad.
There is a plunge pool, tiny and very blue and open to the blue sky, with two blue pots at one end, where stand large palm trees.
Red rose petals on the bed, in the wash basin, on the table, on towels and in another room a bowl of peaches, grapes and apples.
