Need to watch those trams
Marrakech (Sorry to slate another destination Ivan)
Was the worst place i've been and that's 99% down to the hassle you get.
Kids that are begging on behalf of older people, the guys with snakes, monkeys etc in the square who have free reign to grab tourists phones, punch and kick them while the police stand metres away pretending not to have seen anything. Kids that try to get you lost in the medina so another kid can charge you to get out etc. It's a lot of stress in 40 degree heat.
I found the people to be very dishonest and sneaky. I can only say i hope you haven't went for the authentic riad experience like i did and are far away from the medina.
Those slating Ivan's holiday destinations, you do remember that he is from Dundee?
Does anyone want to slate Barcelona too?

Pick pockets are the main problem in Barcelona. They are sneaky as fack.
I had no problems in Barcelona apart from a pizza with potato on it.

Made the missus and kids walk in front of me. Within 10s there was a team of 3 Romany cvnts around her eyeing the bag which I'd told her to leave at the hotel. Started shouting and told them to GTF. Hoards of the cvnts and the non-existent polis don't give one single fvck and are probably on a cut? Got out the place soon as. On the subway and some boy produces a hand gun to show his mate Thankfully we were pulling into our stop.

Sure that wasn’t Syria you went too?
Marrakech was beautiful when I went. Only ventured out the hotel a couple of times but the residents were welcoming etc.

Went to a late ko at Nou Camp - every cant with a fooking banquet in big bags going in with no search. About 9 courses of all sorts. Down on the concourse can just walk up to a stall and get stuff - no queues cos they all brought their own. No wonder the place is like a morgue.
Been robbed three times in Barcelona. Twice on the same fwcking day
Thieving gypsy cwnts.
I had an interesting experience with a pick pocket. 3am in the Gothic area, with a nice local girl. We were down a wee alleyway where there was no one about, having an intimate moment. A couple of seconds later there was a guy basically hanging out the back of me. Managed to catch him with his hand in my pocket before he could take my phone. Was really unnerving as we checked that there was no one about and it seemed almost impossible that he could be there out of nowhere.
