Fez: And so the drama continues!

The first hour and half of the tour was wonderful. He took us around loads of winding streets through the madness that is Fez, donkeys and people everywhere. He took us down many small paths. We had no idea where we were. Admittedly he did take us to places most people would never see inside schools and into a palace with an amazing view of the Medina.

And then the tour changed!


He then took us to loads of shops where they tried to pressure us into buying expensive rugs and jewellery. In the rug store they wanted 800dh (over £60!!!) for a rug. We kept explaining we were students and we didn't have much money that these rugs cost far more than our flights and we didn't have the hand baggage allowance. I felt EXTREMELY intimidated. In the end me and Emily only bought two small bottles of perfume (still at an inflated price but we only lost out on about £3.)

And so the hassling began.

Fez - And why I WOULDN'T go back

Firstly, a big thanks to all my loyal fans. My last post was the first to get above 100 views and I am very proud. I'm becoming a really blogger. (Just need to understand website design now *huff*)

So anyway what you are all here for: Fez. We chose Fez for two reasons: firstly it's Ryanair destination where the flight didn't leave at 6am and secondly it was a little different. Not being touristy for me is always a big plus for a destination. Brescia is my favourite city in Italy, Trier in Germany, Helsinki is my favourite city full stop and so lack of tourists normally gets me going.

Fez was a whole other world!

There were NO white people about. In the 3 days we were there I think we saw around 7. When you are two young, blonde hair, blue eyed women wandering about a city of middle aged Arab men it gets a little disturbing.

I was offered 350 camels. READ MORE>>
