Fez

We started Monday morning with a big breakfast of soft boiled eggs, chocolate croissants, bread, marmalade [which I thought was apricot jam and didn't like], mortadella, cucumber, tomato, yoghurt, orange juice and coffee. Wow. When we waddled off from breakfast, we had to get organised to meet our guide for the tour of Fez [10am], hoping that the rain would stop.

We walked out of our room at 10 and the guide was there. Very prompt. We jumped in the grand taxi and went to the King's Palace. On the way the guide was telling us all the history of Fez. We got out of the taxi in the rain and looked at the doors of the Palace.

Up to the South Fort, where we had a good viewpoint of the Medina.

Then it was off to the ceramics works where we watched them making crockery and tiles from clay.

After the decision making of what pieces to buy [very hard] it was off to the medina.

We visited the university

 the mosque

the tannery

complete with the mint to block the smell 

lunch [beautiful salad, tajine lamb and chicken cous cous]

carpets

and textiles

So much stuff, and all I walked out of there with were plates, a handbag and a tablecloth. Think I did pretty well.

Tuesday, we had a drive around by ourselves, up to the [where my camera battery died yesterday]

And then wandered the medina for a couple of hours [and I didn't buy anything]
