Love this pic
That was a really good picture. Perfect how there is one stork on each (Pillar? Baluster?) pointy thing up there. One of many great photos in this blog. And a good entertaining story as well. Glad to hear that you felt safe and wasn't bothered by anyone. We felt the same when we were in Morocco some years ago, with one strange exception. The staff at the airport were very rude and unfriendly towards us. Both on the way in and on the way out. We are talking about different kind of staff as well. People working to the airline were terrible. The staff at the restaurant were unfriendly and staff at the information desk lied to us and were right out hostile. Very unusual situation. But the rest of the trip was fine and everybody was great and friendly towards us. It was only at the airport were we were treated like we were the scum of the earth. /Ake

It does make you wonder if they are just having a bad day or it was something you did or didn't do. Thank you for reading Ake & Emma. Yes, and apparently these cranes perch on the Kings castle only when he is absent. Like they are waiting for his return.
