A travel blog entry by alister.bland

Had we known it was that far, we would just have gone to the ATM back at Bab Barjloud (which we have now determined is only 5 minutes walk away. It has also started to rain - no, make that 'pour'. Its like a torrential Brisbane storm and Khardija buys an umbrella for herself and one for us. When we get back to the riad, she will take no money ...

... the fellow tourists on other balconies around this sight, gawking down and taking pictures with their expensive cameras. While below, the very poorest of Fes worked in vats of dye and breathed in the chemicals that are added and the stench of the animal skins. And in summer here it gets to 120°/49°. I found this blatant example of comparative wealth disturbing, but I took pictures and gawked all the same. There was certainly something very beautiful about the ...
