Fès Medina

More exploring around our accommodation. Basically the Medina runs from the top of the hill to the bottom. Two main streets run roughly parallel with each other with a myriad of interlacing streetsЧитать далее

Outside the Gate

We ventured outside the Medina Blue Gate to view the outer ramparts of the city. Back through another entrance and straight into the busy streets of the lower Medina.
Dawn

Up early to catch Fès in the dawn. Quite spectacular.
The Tannery
30 августа 2024 г., Марокко ⋅ ☀️ 33 °C
An evening visit to the Tannery. Quite interesting and smelly. 🙂

Goodbye Fès
31 августа 2024 г., Марокко ⋅ ☀️ 32 °C
Our last day here in Fès. Memories of the Medina.
Salè
1 сентября 2024 г., Марокко ⋅ ☀️ 28 °C
Salè. Just over the river to Rabat, Morocco’s capital. We are staying in a Riad within the Medina. Very much different to Fès. Hardly any sit down eateries. A few coffee shops and local market areЧитать далее
The Medina
2 сентября 2024 г., Марокко ⋅ ☀️ 27 °C
We are getting to know this Medina, and where to go for coffee, lunch and dinner. Lunch can be a simple but tasty meal of flat round bread, stuffed with a choice of fish, potatoes, tomato and onion,Читать далее
Rabat
3 сентября 2024 г., Марокко ⋅ ☀️ 25 °C
Today we take the “ferry” across the river to Rabat. Only $1.5 return. We head up to the Unesco listed Kasbah. Stunning gardens. Laneways and views.
Taking the ferry:Читать далее
Rabat by Night
5 сентября 2024 г., Марокко ⋅ ☀️ 27 °C
Went with Lynne on her tour this evening to Rabat. Special time of day as the sun sets and the lights come on. PS. Like the way they disguise mobile phone towers as palm trees.
Join us as we take theЧитать далее
Road to Marrakech
6 сентября 2024 г., Марокко ⋅ ☀️ 38 °C
It’s not a Bing Crosby Bob Hope film, but it should be. Out of our Riad, grabbed a taxi straight away, and to Salè train station with 90 minutes to spare. 😳. One thing I have noticed is theЧитать далее
Sandstorm
7 сентября 2024 г., Марокко ⋅ ☀️ 36 °C
Our first sandstorm. Lasted the whole afternoon, so we just lounged around our hotel.
In and around
8 сентября 2024 г., Марокко ⋅ ⛅ 29 °C
Marrakech and its surrounds are quite flat. I hope we get a chance to see the Atlas Mountains. At the moment the sky is hazy and the view is obscured.
Bahia Palace
9 сентября 2024 г., Марокко ⋅ ☀️ 32 °C
Visited the Bahia Palace today. Got in just before the tour groups. 🙂. Amazing artistry on woodwork, tiling and masonry.
The palace is gorgeous. Every surface covered with ornate decoration.

Atlas Mountains
10 сентября 2024 г., Марокко ⋅ ☀️ 31 °C
Up early and up to the top deck of our hotel. Rewarded with the view of the Atlas Mountains. Good thing about Marrakech is that you get a 360 degree view of Marrakech as there are no tall buildings,Читать далее
Medina Night Market
12 сентября 2024 г., Марокко ⋅ ☀️ 33 °C
At dusk we head to the Medina. Lynne is doing a tour where she gets her hand Henna’d. When this is finished (only cost about $7. ), we take a look at the main square. Lots going on with monkeys andЧитать далее
Tangier
13 сентября 2024 г., Марокко ⋅ 🌬 27 °C
We left Marrakech by plane. Didn’t really want to spend 6.5 hours on a semi air conditioned train. And the cost wasn’t that different. Left at 8.45pm and arrived 50 minutes later. Bit of an ordealЧитать далее
Oh the view
14 сентября 2024 г., Марокко ⋅ 🌬 27 °C
Glorious views across to Europe makes Tangiers a must visit destination. In hindsight we should have spent more time here than in Marrakesh.
The Kasbah
15 сентября 2024 г., Марокко ⋅ 🌬 26 °C
Up the winding lanes to the Kasbah. Every turn an amazing experience. Outside of Fez, this Kasbah is fantastic. The drop in temperature does help as the Atlantic sea breezes sweep the city.
ПутешественникThanks for letting me join your trip. Photos are wonderful. Ps I have a thing for doors 🚪 ☺️
ПутешественникThanks for joining us virtually Michele. I hope you enjoy our journey
Tangier Medina

Just keep finding little alleyways with shops, cafes and restaurants. Want to go in to everyone! Need to win lotto first. 😳
Goodbye Morocco
17 сентября 2024 г., Марокко ⋅ ⛅ 25 °C
Well. What an experience! We got to see cities in the hills, desert and on the coast. Such a culture we’ve not seen before. The ferry to Spain only takes 50 minutes. A twin hull jet boat that canЧитать далее
Spain
18 сентября 2024 г., Испания ⋅ ☀️ 25 °C
Disembarked the ferry at Tarifa and straight to a coffee shop for the free wifi. Got our sims sorted then off to the bus stop for the bus to Algeciras. Luckily perfect timing as the bus arrivedЧитать далее
Seville
19 сентября 2024 г., Испания ⋅ ☁️ 27 °C
We took a ride share from Algeciras to Seville. About 1.5 hours. Found our little boutique hotel and settled in. Really quite nice and the residence of a bygone flamenco guitarist. Our plan was toЧитать далее
Road to Constantina
20 сентября 2024 г., Испания ⋅ ☁️ 25 °C
Today we picked up our rental car (we wanted a Fiat 500) ☹️ and headed to a small town called Constantina. About 7000 inhabitants. However, we stopped along the way at a small town Cantillana forЧитать далее
The Town
21 сентября 2024 г., Испания ⋅ ☁️ 24 °C
A nice little town with many little narrow cobblestone streets and pathways. Nice to walk, but stressful driving through! Walking around you find little shops you never knew existed, even when youЧитать далее
