Episode 12 - When the GPS no longer works - The FEZ Medina is quite a challenge Morocco solo Travel
I slowly make my way back to Tangier, but I wanted to visit the medina of FEZ first. Even if big cities aren't my cup of tea, it's something you should have seen. In addition to the tourist hustle and bustle, it's nice to see that craftsmanship is still practised today. But also the town outside the medina is really beautiful. I spent hours strolling through various alleyways. At some point, however, the tourist hustle and bustle ends, there are no more shops to be seen and the alleyways are almost pitch black. You only see locals whizzing through the alleyways who know exactly where to go. I stopped several times, looked at my mobile phone, no chance, the GPS can no longer get through here. Young men approach you and offer you navigation. However, I didn't want to take the offer and carried on. After about 30 minutes of unsuccessful searching for another route, I decided to turn back. I took the exact same route back which I had come. Fortunately, I had memorised the route.
Besides all the tumult, I naturally noticed quite a few cats again :( I have hardly seen a place in Morocco where the cats were worse off than in FEZ. However, I've already shown enough of them, which is why I'm not including any more in the videos.
All in all a good day, but the sleep was very short :) In FEZ a kind of call to prayer starts at 4.30am. The loudspeakers were right outside my window.

So there it was, the first day that I actively went off-roading on my own. I did ride quite a bit in Morocco but only in a group. I'm still far too insecure and slow on off-road tracks :D but that's why I do it. There's a big difference between simply following behind and actually riding alone :D When I see others riding at a certain speed, I know how fast I could go. On top of that, there were...

Morocco's cities always have two sides - while the tourist areas shine, the city just a few meters away looks completely different. Fun fact: The smallest donation for the grand Mosque was 5DH (less than 50 cent) On the way inland I mostly rode on gravel roads, which meant I made quite slow progress. However, the advantage was that I could drive through the construction sites :'D In other count...

It was a very unusual feeling for a solo traveler to be on the road in a group, but I really enjoyed not having to plan anything but just following along. One thing is for sure, I would have never seen so many places in Morocco if I had explored it alone. Apart from many off-road passages that I wouldn't have driven alone, we had 3 people in the group who spoke Arabic, which makes a big differe...

Perhaps I am spoilet by the experience of these 'old hands' at this caper. I think the key is speak to the camera as if it was, a close friend, standing there with you.

I hope I can improve it .. for example in the helmet: I tried different positions of the microphone, tested it, it was good.. checked the videos two weeks later.. not that good .. so it's kind of a back and forth .. checking one or two clips won't give you the same feedback editing does 🥲 Best wishes
