And now I lay me down to rest....

Auckland Airport - before we actually leave!!!

Our bedroom in Porto. Every room had a different theme. Diana had Andy Warhol's Marilyn Munroe.



This is in the Palace of the Duchess of Braganza

Can you see the flap at the head of the bed? First form of central heating.

The fire is on the other side.

Now to the first of our riads - in Meknes. We were greeted with Mint tea - of course!

The walls on the outside have no windows and the roof is generally open above the courtyard.

The ceiling here is material - probably to keep the birds out.

Our room in Palais Didi. The beds are extremely firm. They have a bottom sheet and a duvet - no top sheet. Large thick hard pillows. Unfortunately This room gave me the creeps for some reason. Of course they are centuries old - so who knows what happened here in the past?

This is the ceiling - it is brocade type material. Very beautiful.

Putting our feet up on our boat trip at Bine el Oidane

Up in the mountains where we had our tea ceremony. Duncan couldn't resist - not sure he should have taken the liberty.

Our last place in Morocco was Riad Challa. The ceiling here was open to the sky, but the roof was being transformed into a relaxation area and what possibly looked like a bar!!! (In Morocco!!)

This was on the roof. Getting in and out of this contraption took some doing.

WE were not all that happy with the premium economy on Singapore airlines. Although we had more legroom is was still very cramped and the only loos were right through economy at the back of the plane! It was a full flight over and the staff were rushed off their feet, and we got some grumpy responses from them. Lucky our last leg on the flight home we could upgrade to Business Class

Wine, snacks and a sudoku - what more could you want?
