Scenery, souks and scams

finally found a wireless connection! We are alive and well in Beni Mallal which is roughly between Fes and Marrakech. After a lengthy customs clearance at Tangiers, we set off to Fes in a group of 6: Norfolk ' Chance; The Costa Blanca Dons; Reservoir Frogs; Cop & fothers; Turbo Tortoises and us! The scenery varied from mountains and snow to flat and dry plateauxs. All very beautiful. All eyes focused on the road ahead, watching for potholes. We all stayed in an Ibis Hotel in Fes after a local guy on a moped took us around the whole city to finally get there. It was dark then, making it a rather hairy drive through the town. The next day we took in tour around the souk and tannery, then on the road toward Marrakech. Today we have a nice 200km drive to Marrakech with a stop at waterfalls.
Priscilla has a water leak back, not too significant; she isn,t overheating or losing power, but we will see if we can get a mechanic in Marrakech .
The really funny thing is, all the cars on the roads here are Mercedes!!!! There are Priscillas everywhere!!! We keep getting flagged down as a taxi where ever we go; could make a few dirrhams.

Thanks for the messages. See you soon...
