Gatwick, Marrakech and the Long Journey Home

As we sit at the exorbitantly priced net cafe at Gatwick airport, we are mere hours away from boarding a flight to Marrakech.
After a somewhat traumatic night in Paris, we spent a night in a Hotel Ibis, with lockable doors, a clean bathroom, and thankfully, a complete lack of yelling, screaming, running and banging all through the night. Oh and clean sheets were an extra added bonus!!
We stayed last night with Anita's school friend Sarah. Spent today at Spitalfields market, and generally pottering about. Tonight we are stepping out in style at Gatwick Travelodge...
After two nights in Marrakech, we have two in London.
we're hoping to fit in the changing of the guard, westminster cathedral, the london eye, a west end show and some last minute souvenir buying... in a day and a half!!!
Then the long flight home, via Dubai. And meeting Cherie on the same flight from Dubai to Melbourne.

All will be well, we will be sure to rug up in the coats our kindly parents bring us when they collect us from Tullamarine in the wee small hours, and head out for Catty's birthday celebrations Sunday night.

Hope everyone's well.
Tanya
