Thursday and we go exploring

First the main Square of Marrakech
Djemaa el Fna
Hard to describe the chaos of people, taxis and locals peddling their wares.
Stalls selling almost everything you can imagine, women offering henna hand art,
performing monkeys dressed in little suits, and of course snake charmers. 

I had been looking forward to seeing the snake charmers but as we watched from afar we were approached by a man carrying a snake.  I ran a mile !
So, I had to find this pic on Google but it is exactly what I saw.
Except often there were up to ten snakes at a time

The horsedrawn ride round the city was fascinating
It lasted about an hour and the quoted price was 120 Dirhams - less than £10
We were so happy we gave him 150 Dirhams

Then the driver offered to take our picture
Not bad but I would have liked to see the horses in the photo
Much more interesting than us.
