From Meknes, a day trip to Volubilis, once a corner of the Roman empire (photo) and Moulay Idriss, (white village - photo) a thousand year old pilgrimage centre.
Volubilis city ruins - amazing. Mosaic tiles in tact were astonishing - they must have been something amazing in their day when not faded or dirty. Really hot wandering around here but great to be away from the city too. I had a moments briefish panic when I couldn’t see David or Kim for over 10-15 minutes. Actually I couldn’t see anyone and while that was nice for a change I did feel a little unsettled. However, reunited and continued our exploration - I was able to direct them to some mosaics that they had missed.
Moulay Idriss wass quite a special place too. More narrow lanes and alleyways. We found the viewing point and the restaurant sign but no obvious restaurant door or entrance- tried a couple of doors under the sign that were private homes - poor people, sorry for the invasion but you can’t tell here otherwise.
Great 1/2 day out.
