It's been a wet few days in Fez, but that hasn't stopped us doing lots! It's a really cool medina here with over 9000 little alleys, very hard not to get lost! On Sunday we headed off to Volubilis an ancient Roman city, which had some amazing mosaics and crumbling ruins surrounded by fertile farmland. We then headed up for a view over the important pilgrimage sight of Moulay Idriss, a picturesque village atop two hills and the resting place of it's namesake, the...
