Day 7

Another wonderful day in the neighborhood. After convincing the concierge that I was capable of walking by myself to the Saadian Tombs. I was given instructions and did just that -- although not as directly as I had hoped. Although I passed it once and ended up wandering through the...

Day 6

The train ride was a dismal affair -- a very slow train, seeming to stop every time someone stood by the track and waived. Also, a 6 a.m. change in Caza didn't help. I finally arrived at about 11:30 a.m. and promptly checked into what must be the second most expensive hotel in the city (next...

Day 5

The next day Samir picked me up and I learned it was some sort of holiday, so changing money was done in the Hotel Fez -- very nice. Then to the train station to purchase a ticket -- Samir talked me into buying one for the 1 a.m. train. Anyway, after taking care of business, we again went...

Day 4

Jallil, Samir's brother, picked me up around 8:00. We first went to the house and then Jallil took me around the medina. Of course, he spoke no English or French so communication was difficult. Also, those buildings which the guidebook said were spectacular were all closed for renovation,...

Day 3

The next morning, I did myself proud. After flatly rejecting a "grand taxi" to Azrou for $300 dh, I made my way to the collective station and eventually was traveling to the souk in Azrou like a real Moroccan! Some of the passengers spoke moderate french -- sometimes I didn't understand and...

Day 3 (Continued)

Samir and Heidi definitely took me under their wing. First we stopped for lunch at Immouzer. Then it was tea at their Uncle's house just outside the old city. Then it was to the museum to see carpets, but also nice silver and gardens. We then drove to an overlook for a magnificent view of...

Day 2

I slept well, waking about 8:30. Eventually, I got up, checked out of the hotel, and made my way to the tourist bureau, who gave me a map worse than the one in the guide book. I was hassled by a few men, but nothing like I had been led to believe. One guy (waiter at Forbes birthday) did...

Day 2 (Continued)

The train from Tangiers to Fez took about 6-1/2 hours. While there were other budget travelers on the train, I did not meeet them. Instead, I med Mohammed (everyone here is named Mohammed). He apparently works as a machinest for the railway. In any event, he spoke good English. We discussed...
