So, we awake!! And the first thing after awake, breakfast. Well this time for kids, only. It was Ramadan, therefore for me breaking fast needs a little while.
Anyway we went out, opting for familiar choices, and stopped at a Carrefour supermarket to
pick up some bakery items. Curious about local food prices, I explored
the back of the supermarket to experience the country's protein consumption capacity. The prices appeared similar to those in Europe, with lamb costing around
€14 per kilo and beef ranging from €8 to €14. These prices seemed quite
high to me, and the same was true for cheese.
Later, while speaking with our driver in Fes, he confirmed that there has been a 40-50% price inflation for groceries post-Covid.
Then we visited the Medina. In Arabic, "Medina" means "city." As seeing here that, the whole city is enclosed by the wall, seems to me this is the protection wall for the city.
The Medina offers everything one might need—houses, markets, groceries, fish markets, restaurants, hotels, pharmacies, mosques, and even some sort of primary school or kindergarten. It was like stepping into a page from a book about a medieval town.
I met an elderly woman who seemed quite poor and needy. Surprisingly,
she spoke very good English, without any accent. We shared some
conversation and took a photo together.
While walking through the Medina, my sons encountered a Senegalese traditional medicine seller and took a photo with her.
Then, like typical European kids, they exclaimed, .. "Papa, Kรผken auf der strasse" ..
The fish stall owner probably failed, but we caught a cat stealing a fish in our camera. Katze du hast Fisch gestohlen ... ๐
Took quite a long time to figure out what these were? Later the seller explained that these were various types of herbal soaps, each for different purposes. We've little to no interest on herbal soap. Guess their main customer are woman. ๐
Some lamb hooves..
Went out form the Media through a random door, cross the street, and its a big graveyard. Later, we saw it from the other side.
At the morning weather is good just beside the Atlantic.
The light house in Rabat .. and lets see whats the water really feels like in the Atlantic
Some typical Moroccan houses .. in Rabat.
Ok, a bit of a night tour in Medina.
While heading there, .. needs to climb an Orange tree.. ๐
Sweets .. ๐
A man with Chicken as pet.
And at the end, .. have some tee .. mint-Tee, ..
By then, it was quite late at night. We were back to hotel to sleep. .zzZZ.
Next time, in the Zoo, more tour in Medina and outside Medina, interesting food and many more .. until again awake.
