Now this is Fez!

Today! Today is the day we truly got to discover a little bit of Fez. We walked around the old medina, saw Bab Boujeloud, had pastilla for lunch, bought some pottery, avoided the tanneries and were all in all completely taken in by the city. Now I understand why they say Fez makes you feel like you are living in ancient history. The city is not as intense as Marrakech, but it is intensely intriguing. As you wander up and down the hilly and winding streets passing the "medina taxis" (mule-drawn carts) you can't help but be drawn in by the colours. If the pottery in Marrakech was pretty, the Fassi pottery is just stunning. The old city hides its modernity much better than Marrakech - you do not see as many westernized hotels, and there is no square filled with people there put on an exotic show for tourists...at least none that we could find.
