Day 3: March 9
Bellies full from
breakfast, we headed over to the pool in the morning and spent hours having
fun. We laid out and lightly baked in the morning sun, dipped into the pool as
the temperatures began to rise, and ate lunch on the lounge chairs. By 1pm, we
had to get up and get ready to head into town on the shuttle bus. We found the
souks easily and knowingly that day, and wandered deeper into the market space
maze. We managed to find a quieter and less aggressive area to shop. It was
such a great experience in comparison. Babe bought a scarf for his mom, and we
saw some of the pretty dyes used to create the colourful pieces of fabric.
After getting back out to the main square, we went on a lovely horse and
carriage ride for an hour just in time for sunset. I loved passing through old city, where they had many tailors and seamstresses. We ended at the pickup
point for the shuttle bus back to our hotel, where we bathed and got ready for
the evening. That night, we decided to take it easy and have dinner at the hotel
(which ended up being much better than the first night) and a couple of drinks
at the hotel lounge. They were setting up for karaoke, which can usually be
pretty entertaining, but most people decided to sing sappy French songs, so we
decided to take some drinks back to the room and snuggle.
