After an uneventful flight caught up with valda in Doha and then it was on to the next flight to Casablanca.. This was a strange flight as we really stood out as western women on a flight mainly consisting of Moroccan men. We were hemmed in onall sides by them! They would hang around the aisles talking loudly with little respect for personal space. When we landed they all jumped up before the plane had stopped which cause shouting from the crew but they didn't care!
A 30 minute drive bought us to our hotel in the centre of Casablanca and after a shower we had a mooch around the local area. Pavement hard to walk on as people were setting out their wares across it.
Managed to sleep through the night with a couple of bouts of reading. Yearning for a cup of tea and some breakfast got us up and organised. We then arranged to have a driver take us to some of the attractions.
We started at the Hassan II mosque which sits jutting out into the Atlantic Ocean.
We then went onto to Rick's bar.
