Volubilis Inn Moulay Idriss

Кроме&#10 96;ный ад. Думаю, что грешн&#10 80;ки после смерт&#10 80; попад&#10 72;ют в Марок&#10 82;о. Приче&#10 84; их туда о&#1090 ...

After a cosy night (it was very cold due to no heating) we started the day with a traditional Moroccan breakfast of pancakes, apricot jam, unsalted butter and honey washed down with, you guessed it, sweet mint tea! Heading out into the narrow lane ways we had to dodge the many donkeys and locals in the street, all coming and going from the market, going about their daily tasks. Some donkeys are used like a garbage ...

Quick basic breakfast started today off and caught a van to the train station. After a few photos (I didn't know it is illegal to take photos at trains stations) we hoped the train for the 1 hour to the capital of Morocco, Rabat. We dumped our luggage into storage and headed off to the Le Tour Hassan &amp; Mausoleum of Mohammed V. This was manned by unformed guards on horseback at the gate. The Hassan Tower is a ...

... of Moulay Idris, named after the founder of one of the main dynasties (Moulay is roughly equivalent to Saint). Idris founded both this town and his tomb is one of the most important pilgrimage sites for Muslims. From a distance it looks like many other hilltowns around the Mediterranean, and it even has a large piazza around which people are strolling and surrounded with cafes with tables outside. Among the sea of men sitting at tables Alison spies one woman sitting with her husband ...

Today we hired a driver and headed north from Meknes to Volubilis and Moulay Idriss. We travelled through a beautifully fertile plane en route. Volubilis, a Unesco World ...

So the weekend started off decently slow. Friday after classes some kids went to Fes but some of us chose to stay in Ifrane. Going to the bars (all two of them) in Ifrane can become intensely boring haha. Aguelmams I don't mind at all because of its dark, somewhat lonely atmosphere. But Friday we tried to go to the "club" Tillieus. Again, it was like a giant fashion show charade. Versace, Gucci and all the other Italian or what have you brand names cloaked the local ...

The route from Asilah to Morocco's interior was through a varied and bountiful countryside of the Mediterranean world - vineyards and olive groves, grain fields and orchards in a hilly landscape. Particularly in the low mountains near Meknes and Fez the distant small villages and traditionally clad shepherds grazing their flocks in stubbly fields of harvested grain gave the land that biblical look that enables Morocco to substitute so well as a set for Israel ...

... Getting lost was fun as the streets really reminded me of the streets in Venice. They were narrow and winding but these ones had a little more garbage in them. Wethen walked through the Medina and much like the other Medinas that we have walked through, it was full of the same people, selling the same things. The best part about it was the wood shops near the far end that were turning out beautiful wood pieces by hand. We came out of the medina ...

... motorcycles, people, donkeys, and more people. To us it seemed total chaos yet we never saw anyone get knocked down or run over. Everywhere I turned was a Kodak moment. This evening we had dinner at a traditional Morrocan restaurant which included live entertainment. The food was wonderful. Randy had lamb and beef and I had Tajine chicken. Tomorrow we leave for Marrakech with a stop in Casablanca.
