If I was going to encapsulate today in three words it would be long, incredible, and delicious. We woke up this morning at 6:30 AM and had to be out of the hotel by 8 AM. I went across the street and grabbed a cappuccino at Starbucks and we were out the door to meet our tour guide for the day, Pablo, outside our hotel.

I'll be completely honest, we probably had a little too much to drink last night. We woke up at 7 AM and decided we needed a little bit more sleep. Four hours later we woke up with the sun shining in our room and our bodies still recovering from a fun food tour last night. When we finally did recover enough to go outside we missed our free breakfast (probably not the last time) and instead went across the street to Starbucks. Jenn got her normal hot chocolate and I had a cappuccino. After we scarfed those down we were on our way.

After two days of relaxation, today we picked back up where we left off with a full schedule. We woke up a little before 8 AM and went down stairs for breakfast at 9 AM. This was our first breakfast at the Gran Melia Fenix and it was pretty good. Jenn went light and just had some eggs, sausage and orange juice. I followed suit with some eggs, deli meats, salami, cheese, and a small churro. We got done with breakfast, grabbed an Uber and were on our way.

We've officially reached the half-way point of our trip. Our first two stops are now at a close and I'm now writing this post from Madrid, Spain. But let's start at the beginning. We had a 2PM flight out of Marrakech so we had plenty of time this morning to wake up leisurely and relax while we waited for our ride to the airport.

Not every day is going to be full of tours and excursions. Well most of them will, but not today. Today was our last day in Marrakech and we wanted to take full advantage of the beautiful Four Seasons hotel, and that's exactly what we did. After leisurely waking up a little after 8 AM we went down to breakfast and had our normal omelets, crepes, and other normal breakfast items.

The alarm went off at 5 AM this morning. And I'll be honest I thought to myself for a good few minutes, why am I getting up so early on vacation? I looked outside on our patio and could see nothing but black. But thirty minutes later Jenn and I dragged ourselves to the lobby to our first of two excursions for the day. First up was a hot air balloon ride.
