We enjoyed a good nights sleep in our campsite last night. A cool breeze was gently sweeping up the valley so we left the windows open, with the alarm on. Like a pirate, Pam sleeps with one eye open in any case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s lots of movement before 9 as the French make a run for wherever. They really are a rude bunch, but after several years of travelling through France we know that\u2019s just how they are. By the time the owner has organised our taxi we are ready to depart for Mekn\u00e8s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our driver is a nice young guy, he knows everyone we pass. The seat belts are folded behind the seats, as its God\u2019s Will that we arrive in one piece. He listens to Medina 95.1 FM which has an easy listening mix of duf-duf music and Celine Dion.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Our driver drops us at Bab el-Mansour, the grandest gate in the imperial city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each one of these guys is going to offer himself as a guide in the next few minutes. The trick is to be firm but not rude, reject them three times and they will thank you and walk away. They are just trying to make a living.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
