Why the fuss?
I don’t think so - I was about 100 metres away.

Chefchaouen
We’d heard from someone else about the blue being an insect repellent, so not quite sure what to believe about the origin of the whole blue thing. Great place, so thanks again for pointing us to it.

Fes and the desert
Thanks for reading. Yes we too found the souks of Fes fascinating. Glad you were so much more sensible than us and went out into the desert in October. I’m not sure what we were thinking really. Anyway it was still a wonderful experience which we will no doubt look back on and laugh.

Chefchaouen
Yes, a very very interesting country, and with a culture so so different to Europe, which is only 20 or so kms away. Amazing. Thanks for reading.

Tangiers
Interesting melting pot certainly. Felt like it was stuck in a bit of a warp between Morocco and Europe.

Booking.com
We’ve now had two really bad experiences which has really put us off them, so now we tend to book direct whenever we can. We even found a Facebook group called “unhappy booking.com customers” and it’s got lot of followers. The main complaint seems to be getting refunds even when they’re completely warranted, and we can certainly sympathise. It took us 114 emails and five months to get a promised refund last year. And the lack of communication about the hack was very alarming. They apparently promised to contact all affected customers, but the. back tracked on that because they were worried about the adverse publicity. Grrr.

Blue
Does it work?
