Djemaa el-Fna, the "big square" in Marrakech comes alive at sundown. Hundreds of small restaurants and stalls selling fresh orange juice are set up in the square, grills are lit and the smell of barbequing meat pervades the area. The show begins then....snake charmers, storytellers, belly dancers, musicians and people selling all manner of weird and wonderful things. The best place to watch this fascinating spectacle is from the balcony of the Cafe Glacier.
This morning we packed our bags ready for our trip to the High Atlas, and spent the rest of the morning in the Jardin Majorelle, the gardens Yves St. Laurent bought and donated to Marrakech. His ashes are sprinkled there among the bamboos, cactuses, palms and bouganvilla. A beautiful zen-like place, but the souvenirs though very stylish cost a packet!
