 What the hell, it's alive, look at that, wow, here we go, hi. Good morning world, it's day number 43 on our round the world trip and we are here in Morocco. Morocco! We camped here last night at a rest area just outside the town of La Rache, five euro for the night or 50 dirham and we camped here on the grass. So we had two birthday parties yesterday here. Good night. One was just here next to us and the other one was over there and then we had a lot of activities going on until like three in the morning. Yeah it looks like the locals are using this place quite a lot which is nice to see. It's not just a rest area or a camping area, it's a local hang out and there's like a bar cafe behind us and yeah it was a hive of activity last night. Eventually we had some peace and quiet and managed to have a bit of sleep which was nice. So we've packed up and we're ready to hit the road but let me show you where we are going to go today. Okay so we are here just outside of La Rache and here is where we went to yesterday to try to find the camp. This is definitely not the campsite. It is two camping, yes, two both clues. Okay and then we went back up to La Rache where we found this place and today we are going to be heading cross country into the heart of North Morocco all the way to Fez. So it's about 140 miles to go today and we are heading inland which is really exciting and I can't wait to see what Fez looks like as a city that looks like it's going to be absolutely an incredible place to visit. It's already 10 o'clock so better hit the road let's go. 21 degrees at the moment. It's not too bad eh? Very pleasant. Very pleasant. Goodbye camp here. Goodbye little camp. Goodbye little doggy sleeping in the leaves. Au revoir. Salam. Salam. Yeah pretty chilled this morning after the big party that was here last night. It looks like this place really comes alive in the evenings. Really to hit the road. So we just did the U-turn because Lavie said she spotted a turtle on the road so we are going to check that out because I want to see what's going on with that. Wait oh it's still there. Where? There straight ahead. Is it dead or? I don't know. Just park here on the road. What the hell? It's alive. It's alive no? Okay. Whoa look at that. Do you think they just have native turtles or do you think it's like a pet? Lavie's going to put the turtle over there under the tree in that little garden area. Some sheepies on the side of the road. Yeah the landscape starts to change. We can see some hills. Yeah it's going to get more and more mountainous I think as we go along as we get more and more down towards Fez. Look here's a Tajin massive mount of pottery. Look at that. Wow. So we're just stopping here at a rest area along the way. We've done about 30 miles 35 miles so far and we're going to have some eggs. Lavie's having a Moroccan salad. Yummy. Bumblebee's chilling over there. Very nice little place hey. Yeah totally. Then there's like a hotel and restaurant, cafe, petrol, kind of everything you need all in one place. Refuel and get on the road again. Yes this lunch cost us three euro. Yeah 30 dirham. I think the three euro is not going to break the bank. Just about. Staying in budget. Obviously every day we can spend less is much better for us because we don't have unlimited money. When we have been three months on the road we will break everything down and see where we're at, how much we have spent for accommodation, food groceries, transport, all of these things. Yeah at one point we're gonna do a video and break that all down. Look at this little place here. There's something going on. Yeah we're coming into a small town here. Got some tagines on the go over there. Some sunglasses. Looks like we are heading up into some more hilly terrain. I can see that the road gets a little bit wiggly up ahead. So it should be quite a nice road through the hills. Wow look at that. Yeah getting into the hills. Starting to get higher up into the hills and the landscape is just opening up around us. There's just vast vast vast planes all around still sort of cut up into sections. So it's like they're still farming up here or they're still using it for pasture or for growing. Yeah looks epic. It looks epic but you can still see that there's the there's sand in the atmosphere. So we don't really have like the clearest view but still really epic. That's to get really cool up here. Wow very nice. Also the temperature has dropped a few degrees since we've climbed in elevation so it's like 26 degrees now. There's actually like still cooler than where we were in Spain. So not so bad so far. Oh another onion truck. That's quite a nice smell when you're stuck behind them though. It's just this nice aroma onions coming backwards. Inside that truck must smell really nice. So it's now three in the afternoon and we're getting much closer to the Fez now. We're about 20 miles away but it's starting to get much drier around here. We're really seeing a change in the environment. Yeah it looks spectacular. It's really spectacular landscape. Yeah look at this and you can see it's just getting more and more barren and rocky. Yeah but the color of the landscapes changed quite a lot and it's more in this yellow red light reddish colors. It looks nice. It looks like a painting. A beautiful palette. Okay we are coming down out of the mountains and now we can see the city of Fez laid out in front of us. We can start to see this big load of white buildings all in front and that is the city of Fez and that is where we're going to be spending a couple of days. Yes and we booked actually a room in the old town where we can't really drive bumblebee too so we have to park bumblebee up somewhere secured parking and then we have to walk in. It's a really nice place it's like a traditional riyadh in the old town in the Medina or near the Medina. Yeah we found the room on Airbnb and it was I think 12 euros so a pretty good price. The pictures that looked amazing so I'm super excited to see how how it looks for real. It's cute. They are cute. Okay all right we're going. We've got just over six miles now heading in into the city and so we will meet our host actually in front of a hotel where they have parking for our little bumblebee here. It looks like you've got a bit more of the old town coming up in front. Oh my lord. He's coming out. Yep yeah the lanes and indication and this type of thing is not uh it's not too clear. It's kind of everything happening. You just got to sort of look around you and try not to bump into anyone I guess. Is there a taxi just there? Yep. Oh look there's like an ancient gate that we're going to be going through. Yeah I think this must be the walls of the old city. Oh wow. Because you can sort of see this like old walls all the way along. Yeah. So I think once we go up through here we'll be heading into the older part of Fez. Wow. There we go. Made it through the gate. Not bad. Whoa look at this. It's just like a sprawl of buildings on this side of us and so many taxis. These red taxis is the taxi of Fez and they look like they've been styled on the Fez hat because the Fez hat is red with a golden tassel on the top and these taxis are red with a golden block on the top. Oh yeah look we're going just to the right here but then we're going around and we're going in there. That way? Yes. Okay. These taxis aren't going are they? They're all waiting. And then the hotel is just here. Right here. Hotel Bata this one there. Ah okay okay okay. Hotel Bata I see. Okay. We are quite into the center of Fez now waiting for our Airbnb host to come and tell us where we can park around this area because we've got to carry all of our motorbike stuff all of our gear up to the room. I think it's going to get really sweaty. Okay we're in a little parking garage oh and he wants me to go in between the cars here. Oh my god. Good good good. I just followed our host down into this underground parking which is underneath the hotel that we were just in front so this is a nice secure place for mumble bee to stay so now we have got to take off our clothes because I'm boiling hot and unpack the bike. Just entered the old town here and there's no cars and no bikes on this streets in here. Oh it's I'm sweaty. Oh here we go. Look how narrow these streets are. This place you can't enter like Frigida TV something like bigger. You cannot you have tickets. Yeah this is like this. No way you can't say look. Yeah see. If you are fat you can assign them. Wow that was some kind of journey in. We were already like so hot on the bike and then jumping off the bike and then we had to unpack the bike and it was just really hot and we were wearing our trousers and boots and then carting all our stuff through into the old town through the streets. Oh my god just need to have a lie down now. We are dead but luckily we made it alive safe and happy to the right place and carrying the host is just amazing. He was carrying our stuff he was helping us so I'm really thankful for that. Oh we have to show you this awesome re-add that he has apparently just started up only three weeks ago I think they only just opened but we have to show you this place. We'll show you the kitchen. We made lunch just here and then they have a little kitchen area and it's all centered around this sort of massive atrium which stretches all the way up and there's not even a roof on it. It's just straight out to the top but we'll go up to the top now I'll show you the view. That's definitely the best part for me anyway because I love nice views. Look at this all around us it's just like roof tops roof tops roof tops roof tops and then there's like an ancient wall of the city all the way along and then the mountains in the background but it's super cool to be here in the old town like right in the center in the Medina area of Fez this is it's absolutely stunning here.
