On the last day we thought we would escape the throngs and walked up to a seemingly empty hill fort just outside town – as we approached we saw the goatherd tending his flock and all looked peaceful and ancient must as it must have been for centuries. Just as we let our guard down and relaxed out popped a very genial fellow and started to chat to us about the view and his goats, but just as we made to leave, he produced a bin bag full of leather bags and proceeded to force us into buying one. It is very nice and Hannah bargained hard but it is still smelling the boat out three weeks later!

We walked back to the Riad said our good byes to the staff (very nice people with no side to them at all) and walked onto the station through the new part of the city a welcome relief from the medina. All the Moroccan train stations seem to be very new and are magnificent, though our train journey to Fes had been a bit of a squash on an overcrowded old carriage train, our journey back was on a modern brand new train with plenty of room and steward buffet service, from which we availed ourselves happily. When we got back Rabat seemed an oasis of calm.
