I've been away, in Marrakesh, a lovely place and according to the Herald this morning, the place to retire. Isn't it funny how you go somewhere out of the blue and suddenly read about it in the paper. I don't believe in some great mystical symbiotic conscience, no a I'm going to notice articles about the place I've just visited where as last week I't wouldn't have registered. And if it is the place to go the person who booked it knew that and that's why we went, simple logic! Whatever thats the reason for the lack of activity.On that subject, lack of activity I want to share the photos I took today with you. At 4pm I went for a walk in central Auckland. Now I have just been in a place that literally heaves people. The population of Marrakesh is 1.5 million, the same as Auckland, well when I was told that I was standing toe to toe in the central Medina, it prompted me to assume that all 1.5 million were in the same place as me!
For the prospective immigrant, well I was in London for 24 hours, I stayed in Leicester Square. Look at the pictures taken at 4pm in the Auckland equivalent of Oxford Street, Queen Street!
Although in London's defense I went to M ans S and got 3 shirts for 5 pounds each, 7 pairs of socks for a tenner and some undies! There is nothing like M and S undies. I also went to Hamleys, the toy store, it is simple fantastic. Although I did notice that in Covent Garden there were a lot more empty units that when I worked there, is that a sign of bad things or high rents!
Still This evening I walked along the beach at 8pm, it was warm the water lovely and everyone smiled and said hello. Bliss!

Wow you could almost fire a cannon down there and not hit anyone.
I feel like a stalker being the first and only comment.Marrakesh just the name evokes all sorts of exotic images. I can't imagine I would retire there though.
Have a great week.
