We had a VERY busy day today - pretty much went non-stop from 8 am until midnight - saw the medina, the imperial city, the new city, Volubilis (historic Roman city). I'm too tired to write a lot, so I'm just going to post a few pics. Meknes is a wonderful city - clean ...

... goods, but nowhere near what he expected. We politely told Mohammed thank you but that we weren't going to use his overpriced connections for the Sahara either, and on their leaving exalted at finally getting one back at the ubiquitous rip off artists of Morocco. The hotel manager joined us in our celebration, and we decided to just eat at the dining room and have a couple of beers to celebrate.

... rabbits, or buckets of slowly fleeing snails.   Slightly queasy from the sights and smells, we came out into the open market streets, full of people buying their daily goods.  The open market sold the majority of the household items and food that local Moroccan's would use day to day, such as clothes, fruit and vegetables, baskets, lamps, cd's, shoes, dishes, and cleaning supplies.  We wandered for hours, exploring the back streets and eventually ...

Fes (fourth largest city in Morocco, population of nearly 1 million) is the oldest of the imperial cities (the others are Marrakech, Meknes and Rabat), and is the most important ...

... timing Mohammed! We were heading for Meknes which was a bit of a drive so our Xmas lunch would be a makeshift picnic en route. We stopped at a supermarket to buy food and drink for this purpose and an hour or so later, pulled up alongside a field in the middle of nowhere and made our way down the sloping bank to eat our Christmas lunch. How my mother would have cringed! I ate bread, cheese, crisps, yoghurt and cakes. Not a turkey in sight. Well - not strictly ...

... and get a feel for the fourth of the Moroccan imperial cities. Our early Sunday morning visit, though, was a bit anti-climatic after the enormous medina and packed souks of Fez. On the contrary, I wandered the medina's deserted streets nearly alone, noticed only by the stray cats, the doors to the homes, shops, and mosques all still closed and the market squares eerily empty.

... they give you mint leaves to smell. At the tannery I ended up getting a great deal on an embroidered purse that I love, bargained so low that the salesman got pretty upset and walked away when the manager agreed to the price! In addition to the purse I also had a chance to get a silver tea pot Moroccan style and Adam picked up these cool colored glass bottles decorated with Arabic designs made of silver.
