2 Rue Mohamed Belloul (Ex.Pegoud), Casa-Anfa Casablanca, Morocco, 20000, +212-5-22-27-57-64
Arrived at Heathrow after 3.5 hours of stressful, tailback driving on the glorious M25, due to really thick fog. Not a great start to my longed for escape. Visions of missing my flight were suddenly a very likely reality. I walked into the airport entrance and met a scene of utter chaos, people packed like sardines, going nowhere. Officials were preventing anyone entering the check in area and passengers were literally fighting to get a glimpse of the information screens in the small foyer ju...
Casablanca, Morocco billybullI didn't sleep much the night before leaving for Morocco...perhaps it was from excitement...perhaps I was just conscious of sleeping through my alarm...I was being picked up at 5.30am after all....but who cares I was off on another adventure. A country that I didn't get the chance to visit 8 years before..... I was a little apprehensive about flying with Emirates (I don't like the Dubai/Sydney/Dubai route) but was pleasantly surprised, more leg room and space, just what I needed. By the time ...
Casablanca, Morocco ranirooThis is just a sample entry. I am tying to figure out how to handle photos.
Casablanca, Morocco repbwell this has certainly been an adventure so far. it has been a really long time since i have been in a country where english is not at least the second language. i will have to fall back to the very rudimentary french that i know. although i havez picked up some basic arabic phrases now. im sure that my arabic will be better than my french by the end of the trip. so the trip got off to an auspicious start. my flight from was jfk was delayed by one hour. of course the good traveler that i am ...
Casablanca, Morocco travelinggirl... br>So Don Fez (he got the name because he kept calling us his daughters and sons and said he was like the Don Corleone of Fez ...he then did a hilarious Don Corleone impression....so we decided he would go by Don Fez the rest of the trip). He definitely lived up to it. As we walked throughout the alleys of the medina he literally knew every person and kissed them on the cheek and talked to everybody. The medina is made up of markets, mosques, and literally 11,000 alleyways ...
Casablanca, Morocco bridgetbomhack... and some other local monuments. We got some snapshots of Liz on a camel, then he dropped me off at the hotel so I too could indulge in myself (a nice relaxing bath, massage, and sleep). From the zouks in Marrakech (the huge shopping market in the center of the city) onwards to the wind storms in Ouarzazette. Said (the driver), Ibrahim (Dad's new Moroccan name), and Aicha (my new Moroccan name) set off to experience what the south had to offer. The drive from Marrakech ...
Casablanca, Morocco liz23... property wall. Preparation of the surface continues; rocks removed are placed on the ones initially removed to form the wall base. After a while, most of this seemingly done by hand, the rocks are removed sufficiently to allow cultivation of the land, and the land is surrounded by a wall.Most of the land holdings seemed to be about a hectare (10,000 sqm) in size, with a stone fence and a house or storage building, again made from stone. Soil within ...
Casablanca, Morocco pgdavis... the Hotel Guynemer. Turns out they are overbooked, and they take us to the Hotel Paris, assuring us it is just as good, and run by his cousins. Sure enough, it is great. Beautiful mahogeny woodwork, tiled floor, lovely rugs and beds. There are pigeons outside the bathroom window, and pigeon feathers in the bath. The shower bracket is broken, but it works and the water is hot and steady. We are warned not to go out between 6 and 8pm. It is Ramadan ...
Casablanca, Morocco mariannegardner... du Maroc but he didn't have the 50 Euros that i needed for the local payment for my trip. I was pointed in another direction so i walked down the street and went into another bank that said 'Change'. Still i was wrong but this time the employee directed me to the security man so he could take me to the right place. It ended up being the small shopkeeper who sold the chocolates and ...
Casablanca, Morocco chooklotto... of your element. It was funny though. We went to Todra Gorge and adam hiked up to the nomads of the rocky hills, where they raise goats and sell their cheese. Its special because the goats eat the thyme and sage that grow on the hills and it makes the cheese unique and more expensive. These people were true nomads, living with no electricity, no education and no contact with the rest of the world except for crazy Intrepid tourists like adam that hike all ...
Casablanca, Morocco keetchadamOne of my friends, Kristín, insisted to give me a ride to the bus<br>station, even though I told her it was unneccesary, but it was still<br>very nice of her and a lot more comfortable for me, not arriving there<br>with a sweaty back.<br><br>It couldn't have been a better day for flying - the ocean was calm, looking like a perfect mirror, so little was the wind... There wasn't any!<br><br>At the airport, I realized how much I do NOT want to work in airport services, such ...
