Nicks Story.  We finally left Tazzarine at 5pm.....and arrived in Meknes at 4am..on a full bus with no a/c and only a bit of suspension.  The worst part of the trip was stopping at midnight for 45 minutes for something to eat......and we were so close to the end.....the last thing we wanted was a midnight snack.  But at 4am we got to Meknes and found a great, modern hotel showered and slept for 6 hours.

Up and at them to see the great sights of Meknes, or in my case, to find the cafe to watch the FA Cup Final.  We had a great lunch and waited as the owner tried to find the channel....but 4 minutes after kick off I was sprinting over the road to another cafe for an afternoon of football......brilliant.....even if the game was rubbish.

I think that the bus is broken?

We weren't able to see much of Meknes, just an early morning taxi ride from the bus station and the tiny bit around our hotel but it looks very nice.  We have chosen to get to Fez today (20th) and spend two days there.
