Derb el Miter No 25, Talaa Kbira Fes, Morocco, 30200, 212-055-63-63-45
... 8211; and we are in the high season here right now – but still our current Riad Dar Dmana is considered a mid-range accommodation. We are doing our best to keep this a mid-range trip, accommodation- and transportation-wise, as both of us would rather spend our money on the sights and all the good food! Hah.]<br><br>Also, Riad Dar Dmana has BOTH an included breakfast and Wi-Fi (hallelujah!), so we have struck gold here. Murray went down to breakfast ...
Fes, Morocco annalisamurray... tour of the medina. I take a shower, and he returns in 20 minutes to take me around. He takes me on a tour of the medina, which is impossible to navigate without a guide. He points out many of the famous places and things to see. While talking we discuss partying and he wants to buy a bottle of whiskey to drink. I tell him I want to go to the internet café, and he leaves while I am at the computer. I don't really have a good vibe about it, so I try to go back to the hotel ...
Fes, Morocco aaronstimmel... Or maybe on of those English style garden mazes with thirty feet tall hedges and designed to make you experience vertigo and call out for help. Except this maze covers something like 100 kilometers. But then again we never did get much more than mildly lost. In fact we only asked for directions a few times and managed to make an almost perfect round trip back to our pension. Amazing! We could claim to be ultimate travelers but we'd bet it was ...
Fes, Morocco jenandjeffmilum... to explore a preserved medieval Islamic city. It is not merely a historical site, but a living city full of craftsmen, souks and living quarters. There are over 80,000 shops within this walled area of narrow passageways, through which the only transport is in the form of donkeys and mules (the "small and big trucks" respectively) or loaded small carts which could be wheeled through the melee. I could have quite happily ...
Fes, Morocco fifoota... to see the hundreds of followers kneeling and stating their devotion at once. We also dealt with hundreds of touts continually asking us our name and wanting to take a dollar from us. By the 20th consecutive encounter where someone who seems genuinely friendly asks you for money its time to just throw in the towel and just act like an ******* to any future encounters. It sounds terrible but is necessary in order to keep ones sanity. When we finally emerged from the narrow ...
Fes, Morocco bradskey69... oils and then led into the most beautiful courtyard, scented with candles and flowers, to relax with a mint tea. It was a beautiful, relaxing experience and I was keen to repeat it in Fes. So it was, that I set off this afternoon with Leoni, those rosy memories in my mind, full of anticipation for the pampering that awaited me. She was a quiet woman, who I had not really bonded with as we were so opposite in character, but it was nice to have company. Mohammed had given us directions to ...
Fes, Morocco billybull... Penelope Cruz and Matthew McConnahay stayed there when filming Sahara by the way. After a freezing night without sleep, and a body sore from climbing and camel riding the luxurious hotel was incredible. There are more parts of the trip that I could go into, but I think i am going to go to bed instead. Basically it was just INCREDIBLE and so refreshing to e in a developing country again. That sounds kind of funny I know, but it's the truth. I've missed ...
Fez, Morocco mwalsh86... I had my fifth or sixth straight excellent tagine as part of this meal. I had tasted Morocco's national dish in Sydney and it was watery and appalling. I had been determined to find a good one in Morocco, and three equivalently bland, watery yellow efforts didn't deter me. The complex tangy spicy stew which first emerged in Meknes has got even better in the narrow streets of Fes. I know this paragraph is out of place; but this blog is our diary and I wanted to ...
