A stroll around the Medina...

Our morning started early. 7 am wake up call and then down to breakfast. Lots of choices again but for me (Pauline) it was the usual yoghurt fruit with bread and Jam. Seem to be always eating !
Once breakfast was over we awaited for Hussein to take us over to see the Royal Palace. Now the King does not live here but does stay here when visiting Fez. The palace has seven doors - one for each day of the week. We were not allowed in.
After this we commenced our walking tour and what a walk it was. Up hill down dale. Donkeys mules carts food clothes to say the least - we went to the obligatory tannery, carpet store, fabric store, napery store - as well as visiting schools, mosques and the champs élysée of fes.....a street no wider than 40 cms.
We learnt about the colours here - blue the colour of fes, pink the colour of marrakech and green the religious colour- and how these colours come together in the amazing mosaics everywhere.
Back we came to our Hotel Palace
Royal where we had lunch and time to ourselves Tonight we are out for a Moroccan meal with entertainment. So you will all have to wait for the next chapter to hear all about that...
