Taking a rest in Marrakesh

This morning straight after breakfast we started out to explore the souks.  It is much hotter here than we expected, but we are only at 500 metres, we assume it will bet cooler as soon as we are at higher altitudes.  The souks were heaving with tourists, we joined them and meandered up and down, and up and down, and round and round.  There are so many, all selling similar things.
We stopped for a coffee (for John) and a mint tea (for me) at a cafe off the Djemaa Fna, which had a rooftop terrace.

We went to the Ben Youssef Medersa, a koranic school with some amazing architecture. After a couple of hours rest with our feet up, in the cool of the Road, we will be off again to see a bit more of Marrakesh by dusk and night.
