Walked a bit...
The beach was a bit different than what I'm used to.
There was a giant fish tank in the middle of the shopping mall!

Made my way out to the Moroccan Judaism Museum as advised was worth the trek...it's actually NOT! Ride on a tram and ice cream for lunch! Arab park with water feature running through it and a maze. Sat and read for a bit. Really peaceful place. An old cathedral which was closed off and water fountain. On the way back to the hotel a selfie to prove I survived the crazy traffic and crossing the streets. Then the pigeons Mecca apparently that is actually Mohammad Square.Read more

Day 5
Meknes via Rabat
September 5, 2023 in Morocco ⋅ ☁️ 24 °C
From the beautiful Hassan II mosque in Casablanca onto Rabat.
Inside the walls of the oldest Casbah in Morocco with some spectacular views.
Onto Meknes. The city under construction. We eat with a traditional family tonight a fantastic home cooked meal, but for now there's wine (yes hotel via bottle shop).
It was lovely to experience the respect shown to the woman of the house. Although she does the majority of the domestic shit she is well respected and sat with us and answered our questions.
The father sat in the background just observing the evening and the youngest son served our food to us. This was an amazing experience.Read more
Traveler That’s spectacular!

Day 7
Chefchaouen to Fes
September 7, 2023 in Morocco ⋅ ⛅ 32 °C
After a delicious breakfast with the bee's we walked the streets of Chefchaouen. It was much quieter this morning as the culture lends itself to late nights this late starts in the morning. Got ripped off in the market buying little souvenirs, had some delightful tacky 'insta' pics taken and a cold drink. Self diagnosed and prescribed myself antibiotics (over the counter from the pharmacy if you don't mind).
After a salad lunch headed to Fes. Pomegranate juice and a kid on his donkey. A couple of sneaky GnTs then a fancy pants home cooked dinner in a Palace.Read more

Fes long day tour....14k steps
September 8, 2023 in Morocco ⋅ ☀️ 32 °C
Beautiful tour guide Hakeema. Visit to the palace gates. No plebs inside the palace King didn't get the memo I was coming apparently. Then off to the towers that protected the city for some fantastic views. Caper plant.
Traditional pottery to see the tiles made and some beautiful pottery. Did select a couple of stunning but useful peices. Here they made traditional tajines, water fountains and mosaic tables.
Into the Medina..
It's Friday which is the holy day so not so busy which was good. Storks nests. Lots of market stalls. Agave silk, dye markets, tannery, meat, local vegetables.
Yummy home cooked meal museum, student Qur'an school, loom weaving and shopping scarves and dress ups! Chaccurie board Morroccon holiday style for dinner and drinking the bar dry of gin.... Great day.Read more

The Morrocan Alps!

Eron.. Sitting in a French patisserie in the Morocan Alps drinking latte.
Morroco is a country of many faces and places.
Nomads.
Monkeys in the side of the road and a fancy picnic.
A lovely walk through Midelt. This is apple country. Welcomed into a local family's home for tea.
Some amazing country side.
Morroco is a land of many landscapes.Read more
