So far....

Vivi and i left Mary Morris at 8am to catch our bus to London to connect to another bus late that sunday night to take a train. But in between our trip to london our 2nd driver got stuck in a nasty traffic jam and we had to pile into an old doubledecker for the next two hours. My bum was quite numb by the time we reached London (at 2pm). We had the MOST delicious dinner at Dave's and than had to go catch a bus at the Victoria Bus station to get to the airport by 12. (Our plane was going to leave at 6am and we had plans to sleep at the airport) We had a little surprise, there wasn't anywhere to sleep really. So we slept on the ground. COLD!!! But we had lattes after checking in and were only 5 hours from landing in Marrakech. We took a taxi that brought us almost to our front door, and than have a guy stiff Vivi out of 5 pounds for showing us to our door. But our Riad is beautiful and colorful and although our host knows only French and a bit of Italian, we are enjoying it immensely.
(pictures to come soon)
this is a taste. But on going out for dinner later that night (after a well deserved nap) we became someone's "sweetlips/pumpkin"
and today we became an attraction when two guys asked to take a picture with us and than asked to be our friends: "msn? yahoo?" they wanted to keep in touch.
And last night, Vivi got to watch bellydancers in the square. But these dancers were covered head to toe and had no feminine curves. A guy near us informed me they were transexuals. (that made my night!) After it was done, Vivi and I made to leave, the guy still trying to make conversation. "But i only want to talk to you." And later, getting a bit hungry, we were served by "the Jaime Oliver of Marrakech." (Vivi ordered WAY too much but it was delicious)
