What a great day the entire group was going to discover Marakech. We started to go to the Jardin de Majorelle where Yves Saint Laurent is burried. Afterwards we went to the Bahia Palace to see how a Primeminsiter lived 200 years ago. From there we went to the famous Minarett and the further to the tannery where you see the hard work of those guys. Strolling through the Souks and finally we went to a "Berber's pharmacy" and learned everything about Argan Oil, Safran, herbes and tea´s.....
