Holidays in Morocco and Spain

The day after Christmas we left Budapest and flew (via Belgium) to Fez Morocco. Our amazing travel guide Jared had made all of the arrangements for us to spend two incredible days there exploring the ancient walled city.

One of the many walk in entrances. Only donkeys and carts allowed.


Lunch on the rooftop. The food was delicious.

The girls were weary with all of the walking so we hired a "driver" for them. Everyone one who passed stopped to look and/or laugh at the driver. I don't think they had ever seen anything quite like it. But we paid him well so he got the last laugh!

The market offerings and smells were indescribable. Live animals, dead animals, and everything in between. Note the camel head hanging.

Looking down on the unbelievable and very smelly tannery.
From slaughter to finished leather products.

Henna tattoos for the young ladies

Outside the old city we visited a pottery / mosaic tile factory where everything is done by hand.
Each of the girls got to spin some pottery
