Morocco - Marrakesh

The senses are assaulted by the smell of spices, the sound of a rumbling motorbike missing you by a hair and the sight of a hundred shades of red and orange adoring walls, baskets, bags and hung rugs. Welcome to the chaos. Welcome to the Medina.

Our western minds struggled to come to terms with the how the Moroccan people remain cool, calm and collected while living in this chaos. Call us weak, but we had to pepper our exploration of the Medina with little breaks consisting of drinking juices in a quiet terrace just to escape the overwhelming chaos that we were utterly unaccustomed to.
