January 1983: Marrakech

I’m not sure why we decided to go to Marrakech in January 1983. Apart from using a package trip to Crete to get the flight cheap and then, to the consternation of the tour guide, abandon the accommodation, I think Marrakech was the only package holiday that Nicky and I ever did.
