time to take off!!!! We left from Orly airport in Paris so we had a 3 hour flight to Marrakesh!
made it to the hotel, we were greeted by a very lovely team at the hotel medina club valeria in marrakesh
me, my sister and her boyfriend went on an excursion to the ouzoud waterfalls which was a 3h trip there and 3 hour trip back. It was very pretty but i'm not sure if the 6 hours trip was worth it (because you have to go down 750 steps which you then have to climb back up again !!! knackering !) but other than that it was nice. We had some lovely food, which a cat tried to steal from us!
took this lovely photo of my sister
this is what the waterfalls looked like, very pretty !
one of the barmen took this picture of mum and I at the bar (where we went at least 10x a day to get alcohol free cocktails (it was an all inclusive hotel so we were making the most of it!!!)
the four of us took a cooking class during which we were taught how to make chicken, olive and preserved lemon tagine! we were also taught how to make babaganoush, shakshouka and an apple and cabbage salad (we didn't like the babaganoush or the apple and cabbage salad but the shakshouka was very nice!)
pierre made a friend at the souk!
my sister and I went in a hot air balloon to watch the sunrise on the Atlas mountains! The takeoff was a bit scary (mainly beacause of how loud the fans that blow the balloon up are) but once you're in the air it's not at all scary !!! we went up to 1000m !
saw my dream car at the hotel, which reminded me that I start driving lessons again next month (which is depressing)
we went on another excursion which took us to a local pharmacy where they sell loads of different teas, herbs, spices, creams,...
saw many cats
here are some other pictures, we went to koranic school which was very pretty (they have bedrooms for the students that studied there and they're tiny!!!!)
