Riad El Fenn Hotel, Marrakech
A mixture of jazz and pagan ritual music blared out of the speakers of the taxi taking us on the ten-minute drive from Marrakech airport to El Fenn.

A riad is a house built around a central square courtyard.

The Totem Pole and The Candlestick are two sea stacks at Cape Hauy on the eastern coast of the Tasman Peninsula in Tasmania's south-east corner.
