Taking the
bus through the peaks and slopes of High Atlas was simply amazing.
Coming to
Marrakesh, and being prepared with the advice from wikitravel, we had to face
the taxi drivers. Not to mention it was 36 degrees Celsius and the asphalt was
burning. Strangely enough, most of the people were wearing jackets and winter
shoes.

So, here we witnessed taxi
drivers being more aggressive than anywhere else (but still, it was too hot to look for another one and negotiate on the burning asfalt). They shout at you for giving them
more, and it is impossible to get them to turn on the taxi meter. They pretend
they don’t hear. Since everything is so close there, I would suggest walking. And the other benefit is that you experience so much more while roaming the streets then simply taking the taxi and arriving to your hotel or riad. On the way you can see some of the fine restaurants you can wine and dine at (well wine part not so much, while there isn't a place serving alcohol almost anywhere). Oh, and the desserts, indescribably amazing.

And so we ended our Marrocan experience, we took the train to Casablanca (before the flight we took a walk through the streets of Casablanca for the last time)
