maria Hi Eugenie, ... That's sounds so much fun! When I was in Tunisia I went to a real Hammam. I hadn't got a clue how they worked, and no one there spoke English, so it was similarly hilarious - being naked and scrubbed top to toe by a rotund, tut-tutting local, who clearly didn't think much of my previous attempts at washing... no gentle, moisturising shower gels there!!... only brillo pads and rock :-D Fells good though! Chat soon, M

Kathy Ewing Hi Eugenie, Stephen, Lily Kate and Oisin, how wonderful to read your blog. We were in Taroudant and loved it but did not venture into a Hamman but sounds wonderful even though Oisin was a little anxious. Makes me want to return but we did stay in le palais Salaam. Great news about our little baby he's gorgeous. lots of love Kathy

Justin Pearson Hi! Found your blog! Great to see you in Marrakesh, and I hope the search for the Painted Ladies is proving fulfilling. Olly got ill at the end of our trip, but otherwise we had an amazing time travelling down to the Sahara, over the Atlas mountains. What a place!

Sunny These are buteaiful pictures and descriptions. My favourite is actually the shabby Luna moth. She reminds me in appearance (and name of course) of Luna Lovegood in Harry Potter :)
re: Why Morocco?
John Fogarty Love the photos Eugenie ,vegetation looks sparse (not much for a cow anyway) ! can I ask if your finding more than one catterpillar per plant which would be my norm .Also is weather normal at moment as Europe is getting a lot of cold weather down to Med . John.
