'Place Djemmaa el Fna'

'Place Djemmaa el Fna'

One of the central squares of Marrakech is called 'Place Djemmaa el Fna'.

During daytime the square is filled with merchants. Around 8 o'clock in the evening the scene changes dramatically. . It looks like the square is on fire. Everywhere you look you can buy food and there are at least sixty places where you can buy freshly squeezed orange juice.

I order a delicious looking meal and drink a 'special coke' (red wine served in a coca cola bottle).

Uyuni, traincemetery (9)

Located just north of the salt flat, Salar de Uyuni, lays a Train cemetery.

Out there in the arid and dry plane lies the final resting place of a good dozen steam engines, most of which must be a good hundred years old as well as probably some fifty wagons of all kind of types.
