Lisbon and Marrakech

 


After my week on the Douro River Boat I jumped a high speed train to Lisbon where I explored some areas I had visited last year at the same time.  The weather was cold but sunny and it didn't stop me from taking a electric bike tour of the hills of lower Lisbon.  I was accompanied by a guide who was a university professor and learn an enormous amount about the history of Portugal and particularly how the country managed to create itself in the Iberian Peninsula.

I also flew from Lisbon to Marrakech for a short 2 day re visit.  This time I stayed in one of the nicest hotels in the city.  I had pre-arraigned  a guide from my previous visit and we spend about 4 1/2 hours walking and talking through the area and souks( market)
