Still waiting for internet

Fez has been hit by a sudden unseasonal heatwave and so we are sipping mint tea and enjoying the cool in our riad while awaiting Maroc Telecom to connect the internet. The technicians were expected yesterday, but no sign of them. Maybe today - inshallah.

Even though it is early in the season, there are bus loads of tourists arriving every day at the gates of the medina at R'cif and Batha. So business in the medina is booming and the locals seem happy.

Planning permission for our riad is taking an age, but we now have a fine architect and the prospect of some workmen soon. A cold shower in our small hamam is a great relief in the heat - more soon, and back to normal posting when Maroc telecom arrive.

oh dear
i sufferd the same when i first came here with Maroc telecome but YOU HAVE TO ASK SHARPLY FOR your RIGHT TO BE SERVED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. its serious. if you keep quiet they would do the same dealing with every client . more than this is that you paid and you are not given the service yet
subordination to the administration is bery destructive. the constructive behaviour is to act and ask for their solving th problme.

as if i understood that you will start renovations?? oh i thought it was alreaddy done then i say to you good luck its a tiring but beatiful experience i supose

the weather at the medina is typically cool than other parts of the Fes city which means that you are lucky
