Riad Ibn Battouta Fes

... some exploring on our own. At some point, we jumped into a petit taxi and went up the hillside to Palais Jamal, now a five-story hotel overlooking Fez. The hotel has several outdoor terraces and plazas that overlook the city, and we enjoyed the view (a bit sunnier than yesterday). We sat in one of five hotel restaurants and had a beer (Murray) and more Moroccan tea (me), making our way back to our riad ...

... the train station), but after going to our room we understood the $10 per night rate. The room was clean enough, but the beds (two single beds) were old with lumpy pillows and mattresses. We didn´t mind the old beds and are glad to put up with sub-Hilton standards to make our teacher´s salaries go a bit further. As the sun set, we headed out to meander through the medina and take in the incredible ...

... traffic lights he would ask the next taxi if they knew where it was but nobody knew. I tried to direct him with the map. He started stopping the Taxi and running over to people asking them where it was. This could have been a ploy to make a short trip longer but when we finally found the hostel it still cost less than two dollars.

... was just not on. Worth a shot. In this light, other practices also make a lot of sense. The ritual ablutions would have been a pretty good public health reform in their day. Now you just hope and pray that your local restaurant cook is too busy to attend as the fountain is a combined wash basin, spittoon, hankie and foot spa... then the next person turns up and restarts the process including gargling that same water. Good for the time. Needs reform. Ain't gonna ...
