Morocco





After visiting the rock of Gibraltar (and enjoying communicating in English for the short while) we took a ferry across the straight separating Europe and Africa to land in Tangier, Morocco. After spending a night in Tangier we bused through the atlas mountains to the imperial city of Fes. Fes in many ways felt like it came straight out of Disney's Aladdin movie, with narrow alleyways, a maze of markets and unforgettable smells (especially the tannery). This afternoon we moved on by train to Marrakesh where we now are. We are staying in the Medina (old city) on a square which is supposedly the heart of the city. It seems quite lively and should be exciting to explore even more in the morning. (Pictures to follow)
