OK, I give up! I can’t fathom this software I subscribed to for easy blogging. I’ve been somewhat technically challenged here because I can’t seem to find a way of starting a whole new blog for Morocco without losing (or at least totally changing the titles and feel) of the previous Iberian Interlude posts.
So I’ve taken the easy way out and just modified the colours (a bit) and the title and here we go with a whole new series of posts about Ev’s Art Tour to magical and EVocative (geddit?) Morocco.
It’s Tuesday (Oct 4) and while two hearty souls had already sped from Lisbon to Marrakech yesterday and three others are arriving tomorrow, most of us (17 to be exact) headed here from Lisbon airport today thanks to TAP Portugal.
Slight dramas at check-in when Ev was bumped from the flight but she eventually got a boarding pass at the gate.
36 deg in Marrakech today so a bit of a shock after mild weather in Lisbon. We are spread between three riads in the Medina. Luggage was carted here as no cars allowed — only donkeys.
Everyone doing their own thing for dinner tonight. Real tour begins tomorrow.

Hi Paul, great to read this entertaining blog about your recent travel/ painting adventures. The scenery looks stunning and I recognise a few faces. Looks like you have some groupies in your midst. I hope you are all having a wonderful time with Ev . I’m a tad envious but someone has to keep the home fires burning ( and an eye of the rising river levels here….my word we have had some rain!)
Give my very best wishes to those on tour who might remember me.
Kindest regards
