Into Riad Jona

Had a great 3 hour trip back to Marra from Essa ... a bit hip with the abbreviations Pete!!

Stoped for a $100.00 ice-cream on the way, freezers in the rocky desert must cost a lot to run or maybe its the cost of the very long extension cords.

 

 Also stoped as their was a Arabian horse event happing so our driver wanted us to have the real desert town experience, the people and the horse everywhere and the sound deafening.

They ran from one end of the field to the other.  

 

 

 

Stood up at the halfway point and presented arms,

at the other end of the field to finish with a 21 cannon blasting

Cool to be able to be a fly on a palm tree for 15mins.

 

 

Then back into Marrakesh into our room at Riad Jona for our last 5 nights in Magical Morocco and it's just a few doors away from our last Marrakesh Riad so we will have some more time to experience and explore the old Medina.

Just out from our room in the central courtyard. 

 

 

Looks like we will have some time to smell the

 

before tomorrows cooking class on Moroccan Pastries

Here is a sneak peak of tomorrows efforts ...

 

 

Our room while not the whole Essa Arabic/Moreish/Oriental Style is more of a tradition Riad and a tad more compact.

 

 

 

A bit of African road kill to adorn our in rooms ottoman.

 

   a map so we remember that Morocco is actually in Africa.

More Moroccan mood lighting

And after todays close encounter with the real Arabic horsemen some art depicting them ... but so much quieter.
