Marrakech Express 11 - Tangier to Fez

There's no time to see Tangier but I'll be back again for the ferry in 9 days. The train potters at a modest speed so there's time to appreciate the sights from the window - an amazingly green & fertile landscape, mountains in the distance & plenty of horse & cart transport on the roads.
Discover a fairly routine racket of con-men riding the trains trying to set up easy pickings on arrival - or worse. They're usually well dressed, middle aged men apparently returning home just like the traveller. They are overly friendly & enthusiastic, quickly extracting details of your journey & where you're staying. Be vague & not too friendly. On our 4 hour journey we had 3 men joining our carriage & when getting little response they upped & left, targeting foreigners in subsequent carriages - nobody simply loves foreigners that much, unless they are after something.
