When we woke up the next morning around 6 in the morning and stepped out of our tent, we were all amazed by the beauty of the sunrise. It was such an amazing feeling, having spent a night in the amazing, although very cold, desert and waking up to the beautiful sun peaking over the dunes. We packed our stuff and headed back to our camels, said goodbye to our camp and began the hour and a half long camel ride back to civilization. It was just as amazing as the first ride, even though it was so early, we were all so excited and happy it didn't even matter. When we got back to the hostel, we had a quick shower and breakfast and got our stuff and headed back to the bus on our way back to Marrakesh. We pretty much went the same way on the way back, and even though we saw it before it was still like seeing it for the first time, that's how incredible this place was. We stopped for lunch at a movie set where the new Prince of Persia movie is being filmed and had a nice meal, then went back on our way. We then stopped again by a river and of course Andy, Ravi, Laura and me all ran to explore. We were just having fun jumping on rocks around the river, taking photos, and just laughing. After we got back on the bus, then by the time we got close to Marrakesh the sun was setting and it was just unbelievable. We got back into town and had to say goodbye to everybody, it was really sad to leave all these people who we didn't know before but shared such an amazing experience with. Luckily we were planning on meeting up with Laura in Rome, and we were going to have dinner with Andy and Lou so it wasn't all bad! We walked around a little in the giant market area, and it was just insane, unlike anything i have ever seen before. There were so many people and so many little tents and marketplaces selling all sorts of stuff. You would walk through and have hundreds of voices yelling at you and telling you to buy their product, it was pretty awesome. We told Andy and Lou that we would meet them but we wanted to go back to the hostel first. We got lost. haha it was pretty funny, we were just walking all over the city and had no idea where we were. We found some people who spoke English and it turned out they were lost too, no help there. Then i saw a sign! It was Fna qua, some barbecue, and it reminded me of a store back in Milan Fnac which is an awesome electronics superstore thing, and i knew we were close, and it turned out we were, and we had walked by it a million times it just looked so different because last time we saw the place things were not open so it looked like we'd never seen it before. So we changed, then went back and met Andy and Lou at this pizza place and had one last final amazing meal together on this amazing journey. We just had so much fun talking about everything, and laughing with each other it was so much fun. After we had to say goodbye, and it was so sad because even though we met these guys 3 days before it felt as if we had known them forever. It's amazing how close things like this bring you to people, it really is something special. Then we went back to our hostel, and went to bed because we all had early flights to catch. We woke up early the next morning, got in a taxi to the airport, and left. Our amazing adventure in one of the most beautiful places was over, but we knew it would live on with us forever and ever. It was a once in a lifetime experience, and i can't really remember ever being so happy. It was amazing, no, it was perfect.
