Fes

Fes was not at all what I expected. The travel book warns about getting lost in the Medina. Being hassled by false guides. Nothing about people trying to run you over at all times!
The Medina of Fes is wonderful. We didnot get lost at all. Very disappointing. Probably means that we werenot adventurous enough.
Medinas are the old part of the towns. Walled in, narrow streets and a delightful maze. In Fes the government have started doing up the old houses and how absolutely gorgeous they are.
Souqs are the markets, I am absolutely hooked on going to the markets. The produce is fresh not intervered with and it tastes like it should. Tomatoes actually tastes like tomatoes. I love the pommygranates. Red, ripe and juicy. Also the only thing my stomach can hold at the moment. I still cannot eat proparly altough if I stay away from the sweets all is well. Kasbahs are old places where people still live. People also live in Medinas so I actually fail to see the difference. Fes is the first big city we have come across and we didnot stay long at all.
