Moments of Happiness: Moroccan Hideaway

I have disappointed you Marrakech, I know. One lowly visit to the Medina. Only a handful of your restaurants visited, a few sporadic hours lost in Gueliz, an evening in upmarket Hivernage. All this is in five weeks... Well, I apologise, Marrakech. But I had good reason. Two good reasons. First this and then this.This house. These animals that came with it, much to our delight. It became a home from home that was just that bit too far away from the city, wonderfully self-contained and beautiful.

So we hid away. And we have no regrets. But if you would like to spend longer in the country, here's a great three-week itinerary for exploring Morocco, and if you're tempted to go and explore in the dessert, here's a fab post on a luxury dessert camp in Morocco.
