I’d like to be able to wax lyrical about my shopping expedition in Marrakech – conjuring up visions of excellent negotiation skills in the souks, bartering for exotic rugs, shoes & scarfs.

But with still no bag (although I could now see it had arrived back in Singapore) my shopping trip was to a modern mall outside the Medina with all the usual global brands – H&M, Zara, Nike etc.

But at least I had a change of clothes and was hatching a plan B, C & D if my cycle gear didn’t arrive.

Meanwhile, there were more sights to see.
