We spent our last full day lounging around the pool and spent some time down at the beach on the loungers. It was a really hot day and we were pleased to make the most of it. At 3:00 we decided to head off into town to the one fixed price shop for souvenirs. It meant that you can look around in peace without the pressure to buy and to know exactly what it is worth. As you certainly can’t just look at any stalls in the souk or on the street and wander out again – to show any interest is weakness and they go in for the kill – sale!
This shop was huge and had so many tourists in it – I think every tourist is told about this shop. A few t-shirts later, a pair of shoes and a couple of other souvenirs we had to race back to the hotel as I had booked in a Berber Massage at 5:00.
The massage was 2 hours of heaven – it felt great, not sure why I have never really had one before but this was terrific. It was all timed in unison – about 10-12 different little cubicles for each client and their masseuse. As each section of your body was nearing completion you would hear everybody slapping, chopping or whatever all at the same time. A great experience.
While I was at the massage the girls went to collect our made to measure Morrocan traditional outfits that we had ordered yesterday. Seph just couldn’t wait! By the time I was out of the massage both girls were wearing their outfits – they looked great.
We decided to skip tea tonight at the Fish Restaurant – no one in our family is fond of seafood at all. We just went to the Oasis – the large main restaurant.
We met up with a few people we had become friendly with – exchanged emails etc had a drink or two and said our Goodbyes – as we might not see them tomorrow before we leave.
The girls headed to the disco for the last time and then we moved onto the show. The theme tonight was The Transvestite Show – very funny and good entertainment.
Traditional Mint tea is served in little glasses and traditional teapots - available at every meal and for afternoon tea in the Moroccan tents. It is very strong and ...you guessed it....not for me!

What a fantastic holiday Tiffany! You sure are making the most of everything and getting around heaps. I hope the girls are keeping a diary and taking heaps of photos, because this is just such an amazing experience for them. They will be able to give talks at the Alexandra Memorial Hall when they get back!
