• Fes Medina Labyrinth xxx

    June 16 in Morocco ⋅ ☀️ 30 °C

    Day 3 of Morocco, 2nd day in Fes, literally have no money left 🤣🤣.
    We started by visiting one of the kings palaces..already really hot by this time.
    Then with the help of a guide which they call a son of the medina who has studied all the alleys and few up there so we don't get lost) we visited the Fes Medina, over 9000 alleyways of shops/stalls, handicrafts.
    We visited the ceramic section where they make all the beautiful things from butter dishes to tea sets and tagine pots, all handcrafted and using green clay and free of nasties like lead and also the paint is natural too.
    We also visited the tannery, my goodness this is a sight....and smell 🤢...to behold, they gave us all a large sprig of mint to waft under our noses, all the guys in the actual vats, what a job!
    Then we had a lovely lunch, I tried the pastilla a very traditional small pie with chicken but on the top there is icing sugar and cinnamon, glad I tried it but I wouldn't necessarily try it again lol.
    And lastly a visit to the materials section and scarf making shop, where I bought a gorgeous scarf.
    I've told everyone not to let me buy anything else and I'm gonna have to do quite a few weekends to make up for the spending but hey ho u only live once.
    Tmw we have an early start and head on a long drive to the desert 🥰
    Oh and it's been 40 degrees today not 30! 🥵 xxx
