Marrakech day two

Internet in this part of the world is a little tricky. This city is one crazy melting pot and a must visit on everyone's "destinations" bucket list. The people are beautiful. Their smiles shine like sunshine. So far we've circumnavigated the souks (no, you don't need a guide), we've bought a carpet from The Co-Operative (money goes back to the Berbers not the Medina middle-men), we've purchased a whole lot of powdered 'stuff' and paid too much to an overly persuasive local (no surprise) in the Jewish Quarter (mellah)  as well as a few momentos from a small 'store' en route to the mellah and  paid too much once again. As the days roll on I have discovered I need a thicker skin but when everything is so cheap how can you try and bring them down further without feeling some element of westerner guilt? I have discovered some bargaining traits (perhaps albeit too late) which I will share on this blog mid-November. In the meantime, some memories captured by the camera so far...(have yet to upload images by John Montague aka Monty! His images will be uploaded mid-November and can be viewed at www.miimages.com.au)
