Here is the Bab Mansour gateway - considered one of the finest of the great gates of Morocco.
Then we drove into the Atlas mountains to the small village of Ifrane. We stopped at the Hotel Michliffen for lunch and walked around.
On the way back to Fes we circled this lovely lake.
Returning to Fes we visited the Blue Gate, the Bab Bou Jeloud.
Here is a picture of the lobby of our hotel as seen from the balcony in front of our room.

The day was a bit disappointing. We were in the car most of the day and we saw very little that was interesting. And the meals were the least interesting of the trip so far.
We drove for over an hour to the Hotel Michliffen which was touted as having a fantastic spa. After touring the spa which was indeed over the top (like a Roman Emperor's fantasy replete with private rooms with massive jacuzzis and couples spa treatment tables), we were told that it was completely booked up.
Fortunately, I was able to have a fantastic massage at the spa at out hotel after returning because my calf muscles were killing me after the five hour hike over cobblestones in the Medina yesterday.
We are off to Marrakech now and will discuss the plan with the guide on the seven hour drive there. Our expectations are both high and hopeful!
