The second half of this trip was never quite as planned as the first half. We knew we were going to see Clare, then meet new relatives in Rome and spend two weeks in Italy before making our way to England. Sitting on the plane out from Jordan we decided to analyse the map of Europe for inspiration on where to go in Italy. As we drew theoretical lines and proposed locations based on name alone I noted that Morocco was really not that far from Italy. It's not that we had ever proposed Morocco as part of this trip, or even that it was on the list for the next 5 trips we have planned. It's just that it was there. With no actual thoughts on where we would go or what we would do the idea of going to Morocco gathered momentum and our excitement levels rose.
Twelve hours later, having obtained Internet access, we spent an hour picking place names that sound exotic and in fits of giggles purchased a flight to Marrakech! Now we need to locate a guidebook. This may be challenging as we are heading to a small German town where English guidebooks to Morocco are probably in short supply.
