Fez, Morocco to London, England: Travel Day
So I'll start off by saying, Fez wasn't how I would have liked to end our time in Morocco. We loved everywhere else we went. We would have scheduled less driving, but we were so pleased with all that we saw. The Medina in Fez was just a really difficult place to end our time… Continue reading Fez, Morocco to London, England: Travel Day

When we finally got up, we finished packing and then went… Continue reading Marrakesh to Chefchaouen, Morocco: Travel Day
