We then went off to explore the palaces and promised the restaurant owner we would return, two hours later when we did return they were overjoyed that we remembered and knew exactly what to serve us.

We talk to the young man seated beside us from Norway, and had a wonderful meal in the Kasbah.

After lunch we set off north to the Souk section of the Kasbah. We want to do around for an hour and 20 minutes the first 25 minutes intentionally the other 55 minutes trying to find the exit. It is a maze of stalls and shops, places to eat, places to buy, places to smell, places to see. We escaped, eventually, by finding a taxi, who directed us to another taxi, who then took us took pity on us and drove us back to the hotel. We still forgot to barter!!!!

In the taxi on the way back to the hotel we practised our Arabic with the cabdriver, it gave him a good laugh. Apparently I had been looking at classical Arabic, and not the common language that they use in Morocco.
