Well our Moroccan adventure is now complete, and we are about to head off to Barcelona for a quick stopover then Paris and France for a month, but first, Northern Morocco!
Our train ride from Marrakech up to Fes was meant to be just under 7 hours, but turned into just over 8 hours due to apparently 'normal' delays. But getting to our beautiful riad in the heart of the Fes Medina was well worth it, comfy bed, big clean bathroom and relative quietness was overdue. We ventured out into the labyrinth medina the next day wandering the souks and having plenty of mint tea, and just relaxing at the riad. We had a day trip also to the Roman ruins of Volubilis nearby which were incredibly well preserved, and the old imperial capital of Meknes.
Next stop was the nearby capital Rabat by train which is a pretty nice city (Northern Morocco seems a lot more... modern than the south), had a look at the 12th Century incomplete Hassan Tower and the Mausoleum of Mohammad V, and for pretty much the first time in Morocco had a dinner that we didn't feel sick from afterwards!
All in all Morocco has been an incredible adventure, we have explored a decent amount of it and have some great memories, but we are now ready for our next stage, France and CHEESE!!
