going to squeeze in a short update. Im leaving Fes now. Things have only been looking up since looking for a room on the first night in Fes. In about an hour, Ill be boarding an overnight bus to Rissani and from there to Merzouga to spend NYE in the desert. Totally unplanned. I had brought a bus ticket, also leaving tonight, to Marrakesh, but last minute, this guy persuaded me to join him and his other friends. What luck. I thought in the short time I have in morocco, I wouldnt have time, or at least wouldnt know how to fit a trip to the desert. So, it will be sand, kashbers, camels and goat sacrifices for the next couple of days. oh, and I am guessing its going to be reallyyy cold. bum. I havent brought sufficient clothes with me. Yesterday, I brought this jebella, which is a traditional Moroccan robe with a hood. haha a few days ago, I would have laughed at the thought of wearing one. When I saw one for the first time I thought whoaaa scary. They resemble those robes that the Ku Klux Klan wear. The hoods are pointy! anyways, I got one. When I get back to London, Im going to wake up real early one day, like 5am. Go to Piccadilly Circus with a friend and take a photo with me wearing it! awesome.

anyways, I gotta go now.
Happy New Year!! shall take lots of photos (my poor vulnerable camera had better stand any sandstorms)

lots of love
