Departing Europe from Tarifa, we crossed the Straits of Gibraltar to arrive in Tangiers where we were greeted by Hicham, our driver. Off we set to experience the moorish delights of Morocco! First stop was an ATM.....
Along the road we stopped for morning tea & our welcome to Morocco - a cup of refreshing mint tea, widely served through out Morocco........
Then onto Chefchouen a quaint little village in the Rif Mountains. We enjoyed a walk around the very hilly streets witnessing daily life in this charming "blue & white" village.

On Saturday we travelled to the 9th century city of Fez. Along the way we visited the wonderful Roman ruins at Volubilis where a roman community lived for 300 years. Located over a vast area, the ruins are now a Worl Heritage Site. There are some wonderful mosaic tiled floors still in tact after all these centuries, a testament to the crafts men of the day.......
We are now in the mysterious Fez. More to come on that later - stay posted........ the Wandering Travellers
