Marrakech, a live theatre

The road from Quarzazate to Marrakech is a fantastic road for motorcycling. Unfortunately we got rain in the first part and it was really cold at the pass of 2200 meters. Adrian's girlfriend got very cold and my gel warmers served their purpose. I would love to drive on this road again. Marrakech is nicer than I expected. The traffic is managable and streets clean.This picture is taken from Djemaa El-Fena, the big square in the middle of the medina ( old town). It is really an impressive place. It reminded me the ancient marketplaces we see in the movies with stands, performers, animals etc.Around this square are covered streets with many gift shops like in Grand Bazaar in Istanbul. We did a short walk this afternoon. Tomorrow we will explore the city more.
