We bid farewell to Chefchaouen this morning and said good bye to Dar Hicham and our friend “Orlando Bloom”.

As soon as the car starts to move, we all crash again. Our poor driver Ali must think we are an incredibly pathetic bunch.

The drive to Fez was about 4 hours, so we had a few stops on the way. We stopped for lunch at a roadside lunch and had a surprisingly good meal!

We then continued to the roman remains of Volubillis – which some were more interested in than others!

We arrived in Fez and were met by the caretaker of our Riad (Dar Finn) who led us through the windy alleys.

Fez is a different experience all around so far! It’s dark and crowded and really feels medieval.

Our Riad is very traditional and will be a unique experience! It has a beautiful roof top terrace where we enjoyed hanging out.

Then there’s this on the other side:

Here are some of the rooms/decor:

For dinner, we asked the owner of the riad for suggestions. Unfortunately she sent us to a very expensive and not very good restaurant – tourist trap for sure. Not very impressed with that:(

But Sam did learn how to pour tea:)

Of course, we could not figure out how to get back to the riad, so had to pay a guy to take us:)

The door way we went through

Excited to explore Fez tomorrow!
