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 streetsLeia mais

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

An evening visit to the Tannery. Quite interesting and smelly. 🙂

Our last day here in Fès. Memories of the Medina.
Salè
1 de setembro de 2024, Marrocos ⋅ ☀️ 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 areLeia mais
The Medina
2 de setembro de 2024, Marrocos ⋅ ☀️ 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,Leia mais
Rabat

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:Leia mais
Rabat by Night
5 de setembro de 2024, Marrocos ⋅ ☀️ 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 theLeia mais
Road to Marrakech
6 de setembro de 2024, Marrocos ⋅ ☀️ 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 theLeia mais
Sandstorm
7 de setembro de 2024, Marrocos ⋅ ☀️ 36 °C
Our first sandstorm. Lasted the whole afternoon, so we just lounged around our hotel.
In and around
8 de setembro de 2024, Marrocos ⋅ ⛅ 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 de setembro de 2024, Marrocos ⋅ ☀️ 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 de setembro de 2024, Marrocos ⋅ ☀️ 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,Leia mais
Medina Night Market

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 andLeia mais
Tangier
13 de setembro de 2024, Marrocos ⋅ 🌬 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 ordealLeia mais
Oh the view
14 de setembro de 2024, Marrocos ⋅ 🌬 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 de setembro de 2024, Marrocos ⋅ 🌬 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.
Tangier Medina
16 de setembro de 2024, Marrocos ⋅ 🌬 26 °C
Just keep finding little alleyways with shops, cafes and restaurants. Want to go in to everyone! Need to win lotto first. 😳
Goodbye Morocco
17 de setembro de 2024, Marrocos ⋅ ⛅ 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 canLeia mais

Seville

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 toLeia mais
Road to Constantina

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 forLeia mais
The Town
21 de setembro de 2024, Espanha ⋅ ☁️ 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 youLeia mais
