Fez

Our initial plan at Fez was to hit the streets and scout around the neighborhood but being a scaredy cat, I dragged W back to the riad before the sky turned dark. We chilled at the rooftop swing and caught the sunset there.

It was super fun bawling our lungs out and trying to out-swing each other.

As described on wikipedia, a riad is a traditional Moroccan house or palace with an interior garden or courtyard. Locals told me that years ago, the French brought up the riads and converted them into accommodations for tourists, one of the reasons for ballooning property prices. Stepping into a riad, I could understand why. Hey, W, if you are reading, I would love to have one of these too!

Accommodation

1. Riad Damia 10 Rue Sornas Ziat 30000 Fès, Medina. 65 euro/dbl room/night. Requested for complementary upgrade to suite cos it was off peak season. 

Review: Not bad but could be better. Free breakfast with nice freshly squeezed orange juice and a good spread of food. Nice terrace to watch sunset. Cleanliness 3.5/5.

View from rooftop

I spent a good hour sipping mint tea and drawing nonsense.  Ah, the joys of having time to idle.
