Volubilis and Blue City

 In Volubilis we took a guided walk around this Roman archaeological site that was entered into the World Heritage list in 1997. Occupied since pre historic times it was the Romans who left the most lasting monuments. The wind was freezing and then the rain started so it was back to the bus to make the nearly four hour trip back to Tangier.

 Our guide presented me with two wild flowers. The mauve one was Morning Glory and the orange a daisy of some kind.

 There were lots of wildflowers on the way home but the heavens opened later and that meant no more photos from the bus of the beautiful colours.

 Got a quickie of this cell phone tower which had been taken over by stork nests. Amazing

 The rain was torrential and the flooding on the road became a bit of a concern as it was looking as though we were going to be caught between two rivers.

 The next we set out from Tangier which is a very modern city and drove the two hour drive to  Chefchaouen The Blue city high up in the Riff mountains. It was a beautiful scenic drive and the weather was fine and sunny.

 There was no doubting that we had arrived when all of a sudden the blue washed buildings appeared. What an amazing sight. It was so beautiful and when we got inside the wall of the old town it was just stunning with the narrow streets full of homes, shops and archways all in sky blue.

 The door was open to this home so couldn't help but take a sneaky photo. Wow.

There were some pretty samples of all kinds of doors in the town. I still have more photos to post as there seems to have been a bit of an error occurred somehow and half the photos didn't download.
