Off again _ this time to Rabat, the national capital of Morocco. Rabat is 3 hours by train from Fez and is located on the Atlantic coast.
So far we have walked through the Medina, past the now familiar souks, only this time we ended up in a square that was formerly a slave market. We then walked up to the Kasbah and wandered through the narrow, winding streets of this walled city.
We ended up at a large terrace overlooking the Atlantic. There were lots of people swimming, mainly male but we did see a few ladies in traditional dress, paddling up to their ankles.
We went back via the Medina and even made a few small purchases, but as our bags are at a maximum, we cant buy much.
We are enjoying our time in Morocco and will spend another day tomorrow in Rabat before heading off to Casablanca.

Did you rock the Kasbah? You know, the shareef don't like it...
(I don't know if you know the song 'rocking the Kasbah' so you might not have gotten that comment... it is a song by The Clash, about the conflict between 2 cultures which often played out in the Kasbah)
You mean that song meant something? I just know the chorus which is now stuck in my brain and it is all your fault.
No we only remember the Humphrey Bogart movie when he said Come with me to the Kasbah. This was set in Casablanca so watch out for an update.
