We made it to the African continent with our long weekend trip to Marrakesh. Our first impressions of the city were impacted by the culture shock of the Medina (Old Town) and we didn't have time to visit the modern areas of the city. However after a couple of days, we developed an affection for the people and the food so much that we would recommend Marrakesh as a travel destination for our friends. Flights are accessible from London and although it does help to speak some French, we found it easy to get around with just English and a smile.
