Hotel de la Paix Room 13 I really like Rabat. A great market with friendly folks.
Rabat, Morocco lgirouxAs much as we had 1/2 day to explore Meknes, I chose not to do it. Needed some alone time. Instead, I re-packed my whole bag to re-distribute weight. De blasted ting heavy ... lol & I can't discard anything! Seriously, I only have necessary things. On a private minibus, we headed off to Volubilis - an ancient Roman city. It is best that I use the description given by the tour itinerary: "The site of Volubilis was originally settled by Carthaginian traders in the 3rd century BC. In about 4...

Mike was up several times during the night because of his cold and so was I. He got up about 5:30 and showered and I got up and got dressed too. Went outside (still dark) and found the cafe on the corner where I had cafe au lait and he had mint tea and shared a croissant (total 15dhs). Met Aussie Michael for breakfast at the hotel, the rest of the group came down and we left in the bus at 9am with our tour guide for a full day exploring Fes medina ...
Fes, Morocco leone_and_mike... start to rise up before us. We stop at some adobe buildings with sand floors and thatched palm and wood ceilings that offer some relief from the wind whilst Jamel prepares a salad lunch. These shelters are used by the nomad families in Summer when it is scorching hot. The camels are unpacked and their two front legs are tied together so they cant walk too far away. We huddle into one of the dark rooms together and sit on rugs. There are four other camel men in there and ...
M'Hamid, Morocco inoursuitcase... to Bollywood movies, Italian-style gelaterias and the ubiquitous satellite dishes bringing Euro championship soccer to tea-houses. GO Romania: they tied France today! The place is notorious for its annoyances, from the somewhat overly pushy/friendly shop and restaurant owners (which we're getting used to); to faux guides, of which we had the unpleasant experience earlier today. We wanted to visit the famous Fez tanneries, since the most interesting and ...

After dinner we went out to the roof terrace and looked back at the lights of Spain, where we had been just that morning, on another ...
Fes, Morocco fearcuairt... and coffee. We went to a very posh café in town and all talked for an hour or so, to return back to the Fondouk in the afternoon and take naps. Hopefully later this afternoon we will be able to go swimming. However, the wells are running dry during the summer, so it is a slow process to fill the new pool. We have decided that we would rather swim then shower, so we gave the ok to empty the wells! Bye for now.....I would love to hear what everyone back home is up to! Love, Tamerin
Fez, Morocco tamerin... every GRRRL traveler ought
to have in their back pocket for moments when one's travel plans go
awry. Ultimately, I feel, "it is God's will..." that things turn
out the way they should and do so perfectly when you don't struggle
with pre-planned expectations. Travel challenges us to keep open minds
and when you are forced to confront and leave your faith up to the ...
