Subject: Post: In the morning we visited the beach of Agadir for a moment, just to notice that it was relatively cold at the beach due to cold wind and nobody was swimming in the sea. Some hours were spent at a bazaar and then we took off to Marrakech.As warned before, Marrakech traffic really is horrible... I'm still having a strong opinion that most of the people here shouldn't be given anything else than a camel to drive. They happily make four lanes on a two lane road and nobody respects traffic lights or actually any rules for that matter. Some kilometers in the city traffic drove me to the edge of a mental breakdown again..Well, we managed to return the rental car in one piece, took a taxi to the guesthouse and walked around the city a bit.Once again things had to be done the hard way with the taxis. Obviously there is a fixed price to the airport in the city, which at about 7eur is at least four times higher than the actual fare on taximeter should be for that distance. Naturally there was no way I was going to pay that inflated (cheated, in my opinion) price, so we just walked out of the airport area and took a taxi to downtown for less than one euro. Annoying to walk with heavy bags, but..By the way, I bought a tagine, the Moroccan clay pot they use for slow cooking. Have to learn how to use it back home. :) Latitude: Longitude: Security Code:
