Another stop for lunch this time 🙂 This time a hotel – Hotel Taddart
Camel tagine – it’s actually good and the sauce is yum ! #Morokrew #CamelTagine #Tagine
Long road trip from Fes to the desert. They told us 8 hours but it actually took us 11 hours. They gave us two vans – 1 for the luggage and 1 for passengers. If you can arrange for a big tourist bus so you have more seating space and to fit the luggage – I would highly recommend that because it is really a long ride
We call this Tetris! haha!! You have to be good at Tetris for all the luggages to fit
too heavy! We had to all get down haha!! For the van to get up the ramp
I was hoping we could stop and take photos whenever we saw the pink almond trees – but we never got to stop. A photo from the van
Our first stop was the Swiss part of Morocco – Ifrane
Atlas mountains
Snacks from Paris from Marco and Jackie! Yum! You need a lot of snacks for this long road trip – a lot!
Beautiful scenery
WOW!! Just seeing this was truly amazing!!!
We stopped and just standing there was so so amazing!!! Of course photo opportunity!
The roads to the desert are very good from beginning till end
More snacks 
You will pass small towns in between and it’s so nice to see the locals
Wine shop!! There is no liquor in the desert camp so we stopped to buy. The local wines range from $5.00 to 11.00 so they bought a lot
The map of our journey from Fes to the desert – from top to bottom
Beautiful!!
We were supposed to arrive at 5pm for sunset but we arrived almost 8pm already
For Spring/Summer 2017, Gucci launches a series of bag designs that includes several brand new models and fresh versions of three classic styles. All feature the type of decorative treatment that the house has made its own – an eclectic mix of motifs, materials and graphics.
In keeping with creative director Alessandro Michele’s fascination with animals, the key bag design for the season, the Broche, features a shiny brass fox head, with eyes of Swarovski crystal, or pearls. All versions have a distinctive, rich, shiny gold-finished metal chain shoulder strap. A top handle model in shiny, smooth calf leather has a Gucci bamboo handle, referencing a historical feature of the house, and a reptile-skin detail on the flap. Brass studs outline the entire shape. Another top handle version is characterised by a bi-colour petal design on the flap and comes in both snakeskin and GG Supreme material. In addition, lobsters and helm french wire embroidered patches stand out on the surface of this style creating an unexpected complement to the fox heads. Finally, there is a smaller, white shoulder bag with a chain strap and a flap decorated with the petal design, which is here enriched with details in snakeskin. This style features an additional torchon strap.
Undoubtedly, backpacks are enjoying a renaissance at the moment. Gucci launches the techpack – a backpack in the purple Rinascimento brocade featuring a feline head and the House web. Additional models include a small flat drawstring backpack with torchon shoulder strap and frontal pocket in green glazed Rinascimento brocade, embellished with a rich bow covered with yellow Swarovski crystals, and, in a larger size, backpacks that combine different brocades and the application of text reading ‘modern future’. All drawstring backpacks are provided with leather top handles.
As well as new styles, Gucci continues to evolve its classics: the Dionysus comes as a chain bag trimmed with exotic snakeskin and a top handle with bamboo handle and floral motif in stripes; the Sylvie top handle comes in a surprising green jacquard brocade with multi-coloured flowers, and a mini version in white leather with an extra blue-red-white torchon shoulder strap; the GG Marmont now comes as a large briefcase and medium-sized shoulder bag in quilted jacquard brocade, and, in the briefcase style, a quilted leather featuring a trompe l’oeil print.
In the Philippines, Gucci is located at Greenbelt 4 and Shangri-La Plaza East Wing.Follow @ssilifeph on Instagram for more information.
What an experience to walk through the medina and imagine life inside a walled city. Our hotel is in the edge of the medina so we had to go inside to get to our restaurant for dinner. The restaurants can arrange for a guide to pick you up in the hotel and guide you because it is hard to get around if you don’t know. For sure you will get lost! There’s no google or Waze inside the medina 🙂 I told Century Properties owner, #Morokrew Marco @iamarcoantonio to build something like this in the Philippines #Fes #Medina#Morokrew
Super loved our last dinner at the Ruined Gardens which used to be a merchant’s house, then became a dump site then turned into a restaurant which is so enchanting. Im sure a different experience for lunch! A MUST when in Fes 🙂 #RuinedGardens #Fes #Morokrew
We had private salon with a fireplace
Cranberry juice 🙂
Before the main course – chicken and lamb – we had all these and it’s was so good ! We were so full already. US$37 per person for all this – so worth it at the #RuinedGardens #Fes #Morokrew
We came for the Meshoui ( 7 hour roasted lamb)
but the Volibulis roasted chicken cooked the Ancient Roman way was the winner. The marinate and sauce is so uniquely Moroccan
Part of the great dining experience at the Ruined Gardens were our servers Abdul and Ottoman – super nice and super funny – We love them and wholeheartedly give them the tip 🙂 Sometimes you feel just obligated but this time we give it with love 🙂 #RuinedGardens#Fes #Morokrew #H2HPeople

View form the road! BEAUTIFUL!!!
We were supposed to go to Chefchaouen from Fes but because it takes 3 hours going there and another 3 hours going back, Youssef suggested we go nearby instead. It was a beautiful road trip to Volibulis. From pink trees of almond to yellow fields
This was a favorite stop
With a nice store 🙂
