A full day in Marrakech today — four different locations and almost 7km walked.  The morning was at Yves St Laurent’s gorgeous Jardin Majorelle.

Despite having half of China with us, we managed to find a quiet spot for Ev to demo and then our group dispersed to paint some of the wonderful colours, cacti, palms and buildings before a visit to the Berber Museum and lunch.

         This is Jan, perched on a rail and not quite falling into the lilly pond!

Our next stop was a visit to the Bahia Palace, home to one of Marrakech’s governors way back when.  Full of extraordinary carved ceilings, mosaics and tiles.

Most of us then went on to Dar Si Saïd, a short walk away for more stunning architecture and a display of Moroccan carpets that was breathtaking.

Finally it was into our trusty bus and off to Jamaa  el Fna, or La Place as the locals call it — the emblematic square of Marrakech full of food stalls, snake  charmers, false teeth sellers, souks and restaurants.

We found a roof top terrace from where Ev could demo and our artists capture the scenes below while we sipped delicious virgin mojitos and later snacked on some Moroccan-Italian food for an early supper.

A sunset walk through the crowds before being returned to our riad.  More in Marrakech tomorrow.
