Breakfast in Chefchaoen

The following day in Chefchaoen was even more miserable than the previous night. The rain would come in bursts and as they say, when it rains it really pours. When I was making my way through the old medina, there was hardly any shelter to be found. By the time I got to the main square, I was already soaked and the day just started! I was pretty disappointed with the weather that day since I was hoping I would get nice blue weather to complement the nice blue walls of the city. Instead, I found myself having to wipe my lens dry every now and then. I didn’t have an umbrella either so I would just quickly snap a photo and continue on.

When I decided that I had enough I decided to seek shelter at one of the restaurants here in the square. It was still morning so I thought it would be great to go for breakfast and stay dry at the same time. I got a seat facing the square and watching people walk past. There were quite a number of Chinese tourists here and I was actually surprised that Morocco was in their radar. For breakfast, I had something called msemen which is basically some kind of flat dough and it is pan fried to a nice golden brown. This reminds me of prata which I would eat in Singapore or Malaysia. It is probably a totally different thing but msemen comes with different dips like butter or honey. I probably like honey the best. To keep me warm I had some nice Moroccan tea.
