15/12/26 seventh day in Morocco

This morning we did the tour around Fes itself.
I slept quite late the night before ( around 4pm) so i hardly woke up the day after, around 8pm.
We had the same breakfast as usual, roti canai but the good thing was we have orange juice today!
The first station we stopped by is Argan Oil factory. I bought 13 eur aloe vero lotion for my sister.
Then we proceeded to another 2 places which are leather making factory, cactus fibre factory and copper and silver making utensil factory.
Astynnia was pretty interested in leather products - bags and jackets so she tried some own but the price is not so affordable by students like us.
He tried to persuaded us by showing how good the qualities can be.
When we insisted that we were not going to buy, he changed to " muka asam" and turned away.
We werent so satisfied with this kind of service.
Then we proceeded to cactus fiber factory.
The guy was trying to ask for the colour that might possibly catch our eyes but too bad we had no intention to buy to.
We finished the tour and went back to the same restaurant yesterday and i ordered the same food- spanish omelette.
At around 2 pm, we took a taxi to Train station.
When we arrived, the " tour guide" was trying to get money from us but he said it in a very indirect way.
We were so confused by what he means and we get so pissed off after knwing that we actually have to pay for that.
However, we do appreciate him for being so friendly and make sure we are safe all times.
In the train, little did we realise that we  could make it to the hotel we booked originally coz we will only get there at 7pm.
So we get there and simply walked around.

15/12/24-25 fifth and Sixth day in morocco

Today we took a mini van to chefchaoeon.
This city is also known as the blue city as all buildings here are blue in colour.
We had our breakfast at 730, as usual,Roti  canai and coffee.
It took us 4 hours to reach there.
The trip cost us 350 dirham per person.
This is the private tour though.
On the van, we made so much noise and had fun.
Get to know Gwen more as well mayb as I was sitting beside her. Gaudi? Museum? Dutch Lady?
We took 4 hours walk around the city. We stopped by Morisco restaurant for lunch, ordered pil pil shrimp Targine but it turned out to be sotong.
To satisfy our appetite, we ordered banana pancake too.
It took quite a long time for food to be done.
We took lot of photos in the alley. Most of it are doors, Santorini Oia feel...
There was a guy who sell carpet trying to bring us to see the spring water but we were too scared to follow.
We finished our own tour on time.
Then we called the driver, we took another 4 hours back. It was so hot in the van and we were damn hungry.
It was the first time i got escorted to the restaurant.
 It was about 10pm but we still ordered.80 dirham 3 meal course each. The spanish omelette and harira- chickpea soup definitely worth the price
