Morocco: Taroudannt Day 2

The city is surrounded by a massive red clay brick wall which was typical of the Berber towns' fortification against invasion. The only access into this city is through five huge entrance ways with a maze of roads and alleyways snaking through this town with markets in the south souks close to the town square and a tannery in the west of the town and in the the north the Kasbah.

Its the only city thus far I have encountered where bicycles are a common site. People crisscrossing the city on bicycle going to work and students going to schools.

The hotel whereI stay, Hotel Taroudant, is one of a few hotels dotted around the square with good prices. Unfortunately good fairly cheap accommodation comes with its own unique situations . My Hotel is extremely noisy and residents are not protected by the noise emanating from the bar bellow the hotel with its adjoining courtyard.

There is no time restraints of hours of operation that the bar has to adhere to so the drunken noises will continue until early hours of the morning.

Solution: have earplugs if you choose to stay or find another hotel with a quieter surrounding......
