Staying at a riad, if you can find one

Day 6: The Wheelers finally arrive in Africa.
Wednesday 7 February
From Rabat we cruised along a modern toll road autoroute via Casablanca to Marrakech for the first two thirds of the trip, the final 150km on a rather older road. In Marrakech we dived into the medina to stay at Riad Edward. Converting traditional old Moroccan courtyard houses known as riads into hotels is a current trend and this one is a fine example of the type. The problem with riads is finding them, the medina is amazingly convoluted and the riads are usually completely anonymous, from the outside.

How beautiful is that little pool? Oh to be there!
That is quite a lovely idea. Looks like a little sanctuary!
Talk about the food!
