Welcome to the new home of AssortedRoyalties.com or as it was previously known A Touch of Royalty.
It’s amazing what you find when you haven’t visited your blog in quite a bit of time. I realised that there’s a number of drafts sitting, waiting to be finished before I published them and never quite got around to it.
So we found ourselves back in Marrakech after our whirlwind bus tour of Morocco. And it was lucky that Matt and I had decided to just do the hop-on hop-off bus on our first day in Marrakech and generally just wander aimlessly around because we did quite a few tourist activities on our last day of the tour.
We were met by our tour guide, who was a student in Marrakech, at our hotel. (I’m not sure whether I’ve mentioned before, but our hotel was in the Medina, or the old city, within Marrakech). From there we started walking to the Palais de la Bahia, where we had our tour guide take us around. It was pretty cool, but full of people. We did find out though that they have been using the courtyard below in the new Prince of Persia film that’s due for release in 2010.
This area of the palace has been used in the upcoming Prince of Persia film.
My curtain fell down yesterday morning.
Random – perhaps. Matt told me last night that this was a random comment to make in a Skype conversation.
I suppose that if you have no back story – no real concept of the troubles I have with the curtain – then my exclamation of frustration at said curtain could be considered somewhat random.
After the excitement of the camels and desert, we all slept like logs in our warm and comfortable beds. For some crazy reason Matt and I had decided that we wanted to go Quad biking in the morning. It wasn’t entirely crazy just because of the Quad biking but also because it meant that we had to have the earliest morning of the entire trip. We had to be breakfasted and ready to go at 7am.
They had asked for numbers at dinner the night before and at that time there had been around 14 people who were interested in going. But when we arrived down at the bus, ready to go, in the morning there were only three others waiting. It seems that the others had all, for various reasons, decided not to go after all.
