I´m leaving for Morocco!

My friends,

I had lofty goals of catching up on my Portugal posts before I leave for Morocco, but it looks like I won´t be able to do so.

If these directions to my hostel are any indication of my adventures in Morocco, I´m sure I will have plenty of hilarious stories to share next week.

The easiest way to get to the hostel is from the famous Djemaa el-Fnaa square. Ask your cab driver to leave you at what is popularly known as “Café Argana” although the canopy reads “Restaurant Argana”. The name “Argana” is written in large letters on the roof of the premises. If you arrive by bus, or the square is closed to cars, look for this cafe, or ask someone to show you the way to it. It’s located on one of the corners of the square.
Facing the cafe, take the street immediately to the left. Very soon you willget to an open space. Cross this taking the street on your left under the archway. Pass through the arch and you'll be in Mouassine street. This is a fairly wide street (for the Medina standards), with shops left and right. Walk straight down this street. Soon on your right you'll see a small corner shop called 'Fnaque Berber' followed by another arch, walk directly through it. After approximately 100 meters you'll get to a small open space (or a place where the street widens), once you enter this area you will find a small arch behind and to your right. This is a slight u-turn but do not worry as our street starts there! You can read its name at the top of the arch: 'Derb Laghnaiz Lamouassine'. Pass through the arch and walk down three steps. You're almost there. This street has no shops and in most parts is roofed. Walk and don't leave the wall on your left. After 50-60 meters of walking down this winding street, you'll find a door with our name on it: 'Equity Point'. Welcome!!

This is apparently, the EASIEST way to get to the hostel.

Wish me luck,
Pris
