[Thursday, February 12]
We landed around 5 PM at the Marrakech Airport and
transferred by bus to our hotel, La Mamounia. We noticed the sign in the lobby that this hotel was voted
the number one tourist hotel in the world in 2013. Vladimir Putin's daughter's wedding was held here in 2013. We were served almond milk and dates upon arrival.
Our room, 142, is gorgeous – a full suite with walk in
bathroom including freestanding tub, shower, closet commode and bidet and a
walk in closet. At the end of the
hall is our bedroom and we have double French doors leading out into a patio
balcony over looking the gardens and the (heated) outdoor pool.
The room is tiled with mosaics and carved wood and
marble. We have a bouquet of white
roses, a rose in our bathroom, delicious macaroons for an afternoon snack. Our gifts at this location included a
cedar inlay box for Mike and a woven Berber shawl for me. A treat for our last location on the trip.
