And we're on the road..

The Agrios family arrived late that night after a bunch of plane trouble and then the next day we were off. We had to cross a mountian range to get to the desert where we'd be spending some time. As we drove to the summit on many windy roads....

...it began to snow! We stopped at the summit so that we could catch some snowflakes on our tongues. Turns out that Ariana had never seen it snow before. 

There were a few stray dogs living at the summit and it was very cute as their fur got covered in little snow flakes!

Souk-y Animals

The streets of Marrakech were filled with animals, majorly cats and kittens. They were so cute! In one of the squares of the Souk, there were men selling small turtles and chameleons. We talked to one man who told us that the turtles were bought for good luck, and the chameleons were bought to catch flies in the house. He let us hold one of the chameleons and we watched as it changed colour on our skin. Very cool.  

Lights in the Souk

We walked from our hotel into the center of town to go to the famous Souk - a absolutely massive market. As we got there, a man offered to give us a free tour around the Souk, and we accepted. He led us into many different places that we wouldn't have seen, the leather works, where they dyed the scarves, where they shaped the iron and an antique area, just to name a few. Here's a few photos from a few stores selling lamps. 

Marrakech

We had to get up real early to get on our flight to Marrakech, but luckily we made it there within the day, unlike Ariana and Max. Their planes kept getting canceled and I'm pretty sure they flew all over Europe before they finally made it to our hotel at around midnight. 

Our bedroom 

The hotel had two covered courtyards, lucky because it started pouring while we were there... 

Pretty bedcovers 

From the roof of the hotel we could see the old city's walls. All along the wall were storks nests. And we thought they were special to Holland...

More Loft

My favourite part of the Loft Performance was this one guy who juggled and did the diablo. He was AMAZING. He did 5 diablos at one time. 

That night we went back to the hotel and were allowed to stay up for a bit later than usual. The next day we were off back to Holland. 

And the day after that I was off to Morocco with my family at a very ridiculous flight time...

Loft - The Seven Fingers

The final night we went to a show called LOFT. It was a mixture of humor (in German and English) as well as acrobatics, juggling and diablo-ing.

The funniest part about it was how to enter the auditorium. We (Zoe and I) went up these stairs and there were this German couple with us. The first door that we came upon led onto the stage. Thinking it was a joke we continued up, only to find a dead end. So, we went back to the stage door and went through. We ducked through a fridge and ended up on the stage. The actors pointed to our seats, and we went and joined our friends. About ten minutes into the show, a doorbell rang, the actors stopped their show and opened the fridge, to reveal a family come to watch the show. They offered them pretzels and it was all really pretty funny.
