Had an ok nights sleep on our bunk bed feel like I am about seven again! Woke up to an amazing breakfast of juice, pancakes, fresh bread, jams and local breads with coffee it was so tasty. Mohammad gave us the info about how to get to the train station. So got ready and went to get a small taxi to the station to get our tickets for Sunday to go to Fez the taxi driver told us it takes 7 hours ahhh perswaded Ian though to get first class as I read a book about ...

Got up at 4am and got to the airport ok in the taxi the hotel where we stayed is really half a mile away from the airport you can see the planes taking off and the taxi cost us 20 euro they know how to rip you off around here. I am excited about the change of scenery and also about going somewhere that is hot I cant wait to get my summer clothes back on again! I hate it on aeroplanes though when people in front of you put the seats down, I know that you can but there is such a ...

... his four wives and 24 concubines! We also viewed the Court of Honour, where crowds of people gathered to beg for the vizier&#8217;s mercy. Over the palace&#8217;s history, the place was looted several times &#8211; especially after the vizier died &#8211; so the palace is no longer furnished. Still, the embellishments speak for themselves &#8211; we were blown away by how intricate and detailed the rooms were.<br><br>After Bahia Palace, we ...

... of spices &#8211; mint, cinnamon, vanilla &#8211; oh my!) and stopped at Café de Epices (accent over the first &#8220;e&#8221;) for a late-morning snack. We had some café con leches (with interesting, fresh spices added &#8211; wow!) and sandwiches de fromage as we ate on their third-floor terrace overlooking thousands of souq rooftops. It was lovely.<br><br>From our refreshments, we again hit the souqs and spotted a tiny &#8220;Cyber/C@fe/Internet&#8221; shop ...

... stepping daintily around a dead chèvre (goat), we found the little sucker (a micro hidden in a cubby hole in a clay/straw wall) and... I do believe Wales now has a new geoaddict! ;D <br><br> That night (alas, my last in dear Morocco!), we headed for the legendary "Djemaa el Fna" Square for a sunset ...

... agree on and the water pipe is ours &#8211; it was hard work though!!!<br><br>We make our way round to Alex&#8217;s friends stall and sit down for another round of kebab skewers and chatting, followed by mint tea. Alex&#8217;s friend has limited English and we speak even less French, so he tells us we are very, very welcome and anything else has to be translated through Alex. We&#8217;re off to the coast tomorrow, so Alex says her goodbyes and we leave the square to go to ...

... a 2 week road trip in Portugal this fall so it isn't the end yet. Is there ever an end to anything? From Bangkok I flew to meet Tyler in Morocco. The days leading up to this event were combined with mixed feelings of nostlagia- for the place and people I was leaving and so in love with and for the person I meeting and missing for a year, my brother. I couldn't wait to see him! I'm sure you have all felt this before. I played out 100 situations in my head of how we ...

... food stalls, more like outdoor restaurants, that serve up delicious Moroccan fare at cheap-even-for-Morocco prices: cuscous (a North African grain) with "the fixins" (my term, not Moroccan), tanjine (a Moroccan stew), olives, calimari, pastella (a dinner pastry) and more. The food was great! After gorging ourselves we could head out in any direction for a huge glass of fresh squeezed orange juice (only US0.25!) and to end the evening get some tea and a ...
