On our third day we went from Asilah to the blue city of Chefchaouen.
Our driver picked us up at our hotel in the morning and then drove us around Asilah to find the police officer to bribe. It seems free travel from city to city in Morocco is limited, and some have to get government approval to do so. Doing so requires a bribe, or finding a police official who is not as corrupted. According to our driver, this is difficult.
In any case, we drove through the countryside and saw a lot of little towns and farms. The King of Morocco was coming through and whole stretches of the road where we traveled were outlined with the police officers. It was a bit of a bizarre experience seeing so many cops.
We finally made it to Chefchaouen and were amazed by all the blue walls, confusing small streets in the Medina, and all of the kittens and cats. We soon found out that Google Maps is truly useless and had to resort to Open Street Maps to find our way around. There are no guides, street signs, or maps, but it was fun getting lost and exploring the Medina.
