Morocco day 4 – Fes – hanging out in the medina

After our big day yesterday and with another big day to come tomorrow- we took it back a few notches today.. Today was to be all about soaking up the atmosphere in the medina 🙂

We slept in until 9am! Then showered before heading downstairs for a relaxing breakfast and to plan our day. Breakfast was a yummy combination of pastries, baguette, Moroccan cheese, jams, oj, coffee, hot chocolate and figs.

Then we headed deep into the twisty-windy-vibrant-narrow streets of the medina for a wander for a few hours…

We found all sorts of shops…

Interesting doors

Fountains

past the cafes…
(often full of men conducting business)

along twisty windy streets

Past Mosques, museums and a mausoleum 🙂

A tannery where they dye the animal skins
(luckily they gave us some fresh mint for the smell)

past the shops showing the produce of the tannerie

The wedding street

through a carpet spinning workshop…

gorgeous ornate walls, roof tops, and more!

Exhausted we returned to our riad for some down time at our beautiful riad 🙂
(check out the cool space age green shower)

With the amazing view from it’s roof top 🙂

Before heading out to dinner- where again we ordered a combination of meals – skewers, pizza, lamb kefta- with the winner being the lamb kefta! Mum was floored! Whose kids are these?

On the way home we saw a wedding in progress 🙂
