Mulai Ismail Ibn Sharif (about 1645-1727), reigned as Moroccan Sultan from 1672-1727, the second ruler of the Alaouite dynasty, claimed to be a descendant of Muhammad's grandson. Ismail is one of the greatest figures in Moroccan history, known as "Warrior King", Ismail The Bloodthirsty, and Mon Pere.

He succeeded his half-brother Moulay Al-Rashid who died after a fall from his horse in 1672. That makes it sound like an ...

... An old man from the train directed us towards our final destination, Hotel Majestic. Usually hotels with names like that are a paradox, but in this case, after the roach motel in Fez the name rang true. We had to do some bartering from 300dirham down to 200 ($20) to stay within our budget. Compared to Fez the extra $8 we were spending at the Hotel Majestic was worth it. Unlimited hot water with in room shower, towels, soap, extremely clean ...

... to was "broken". We spent about an hour at the bus station waiting for the next one which we eagerly boarded at 10.45am - did not mind the sawdust on the floor and there were no chickens, so life was good. Life was NOT so good at 12.30pm when we were STILL sitting at the bus station, and they had washed the bus at least 3 times and sold every ticket 3 times over! There would probably have been over 100 people on ...

3rd October 2008 Khemisset (on the way to Meknes) Lovely and warm We set off early this morning anticipating the horrible traffic we encountered when we left Tangier on a Friday morning, but it was nothing like it. In fact the whole 87kms we did today was a bit of a dream and I have to say the nicest ride we've done in Morocco so far. The road was good, the traffic not too heavy and the countryside was very pleasant. Lots of ...

... big and things are moving too slow to resolve it - bit of a worry when almost 1/3 of the population is under 15yrs of age. Finally on the bus at 10pm for a smooth trip to Meknes and very premature arrival at 4am, instead of ­6am as expected - ah well, at least the bus station cafe was open and was serving coffee! The rain from Goulmima followed us to Meknes, but by the time we left the station at 7am to hunt down a hotel, things had mostly cleared. Hopped from hotel to hotel as we ...

... way to cross over junctions that have no indication who has right of way, is to beep your horn, put your foot down and try and dodge the traffic driving straight at you. The showers and toilets at our campsite at Fes are basic and not particularly clean, but they look useable. However after Mum's cold shower experience, I've decided to stick with my greasy hair and stink.

... their frosty glass of milk (which leaves a residue on the glass like chunky yoghurt - so I'm not game). There is usually also a swarm of bees hovering around these shops generally making a visit feel like a life or death experience. Just for further explanation, the Moroccan bees are oversized, black with pointy abdomens. In Australia we call these animals wasps. They are seriously scarey in mobile-hive numbers and nothing will prevent them from ...

... demain. Une fois que tout est prêt, on se douche et on va au supermarché où Flo et moi trouvons encore le moyen d'acheter des trucs !!! Derniers achats au marché - gâteaux ! et on va manger au resto dans la ville nouvelle... Couscous !! Finalement, tout est cher et pas bon ! En retournant aux voitures, on passe devant le resto du premier jour et le serveur nous fait un grand coucou et un grand sourire.
