Fezgettaboutit
So Fez pretty much was just a big Medina. Its should be better once they finish renovating all the monuments and let you in. The new King is stoked for tourism and so Morocco is gearing for a 500% or more jump in people. I didn’t give Fez much chance but after one day and it started raining, I got out of there quick.
The train is a cheap, efficient and comfortable way to get around Morocco. Fez to Marrakesh is 7 and a half hour ride for 170Dh. Except for the last two hours, the scenery pretty much looked like the rolling farmlands of the Western Cape. Just replace the wine farms with orange groves (I almost said orange tree farms there), the steeples with minarets and the shacks with low cost brick housing. Oh, and a lot of donkeys. Like a kak lot.
On the window of the train it says: Issue de Secours. On the back window of a Golden Arrow bus in Cape Town it says: “In case of emergency kick out glass” or something like that. I so want to kick out that window! Even the slightest accident is going to have me charging that window. By the time I sit down in a Cape Town bus I have figured out the most efficient way to pick myself up and charge the window no matter which side the bus lands on. No one is going to beat me to that back window.
Now I think “Issue de Secours” means “Emergency Exit.” So if on the news there is a Moroccan train crash (highly unlikely; they drive real safe) and you think I’m on it and they show an aerial view, look for the cabin where the window is 100 meters from the train – that’s where I got out.
