Dad is a free man. Yesterday was his last day at W+K Lundun. For the time being were gonna take another short sabbatical as a family with Sora this time round… 1 month in Kuala Lumpur, Bali with halmoni and haraboji song, then to Bangkok to get some Thai food and take turns with 2-3 hour massage for mum. Her body aches. Finally Luang Prabang in Laos.

En route to Marrakech, a gruelling all day affair of 9 hours! By this time we knew the train wouldn't be on time, and it was two hours and half late. Even though LP (our travel bible) didn't think it was worth it, we took the first class and were glad for it. We had the 6-seater compartment to ourselves for most of the 8-hour journey until John Haynes of Abidjan, Liberia joined us. He sings at a club in Marrakech, just signed a contract in a 5 star hotel in Casablanca and is quite a jovial character! He’s got Michael Jackson and James Brown in his bones!
Famished by the time we arrived in Marrakech, we picked up some McDo and ate at our Dar. Morocco's beauty is on the inside, literally. The outside is a chaotic, labyrinthian maze.
On our last day we decided to stop by the Dar Batha Museum. We’re glad we did ; - ]
The afternoon saw us visiting some antique Morocaine artifacts at the Nejjarine Museum of Arts and Crafts, lots of Moorish influence.
The morning was spent meandering through the hidden alleys of the Medina in a self-guided exploration, which we were discouraged to do so by our guide the previous day. hmmmm. job security threat in place. Medieval to say the least, but we liked it just so.
