Hotel Hyatt Regency Casablanca

... out to a club with a large group from the ship and we were at the beach all day and then went out to this club called Barbass. We were there from midnight to about 5:30 a.m. and then I came back to the boat and slept for a couple hours (sorry Mom I know you don’t want to hear this). Then I had to meet with my Barcelona group at 7:30 a.m. to go to the airport. Some of the people on the airplane from ...

If I never eat another lamb tagine for the next couple of years, I will not be sad. If I ever complain about a good flushing, western-style toilet, or take toilet paper, shower curtains or garbage cans for granted, punch me in the nose. If you see me when I get back and give you the kiss-kiss, don't think I'm weird. If I visit your home or business and expect to be served mint tea and those delicious almond cookies, I will still graciously accept ...

... beer at at my hotel by 830pm. casablanca is not exactly like the movie, but seeing that the laundry man at my hotel is a spot-on Humphrey Bogart, and that the menu at Rick's Cafe includes 300 dollar bottles of champagne, it can't be all that far off. from what i've seen so far, it's like downtown Chicago with twice the cafes and cars. Peugots, Renaults and Fiats may be small, but they can really clog things up when they come in herds. My kingdom for my scooter. i'd ...

... the speakers and apparently someone hit their head and was knocked out and bleeding while another room required a stretcher to be delivered but I don't really know what happened to the second person. Also someone broke their wrist by running and then sliding around in the Union so despite all the fun that most people had sliding around, some got hurt which wasn't good. When I got back to my room I walked into Rachel sitting between our two bedside tables ...

... more food - lamb brochettes and rice salad down into our already massively full bellies. I can honestly say that the meal was the best I have ever experienced (and eaten) in my life. We ate together from the center plate, around a coffee-table-high round table. It was probably my most memorable experience from the trip, and I really got along well with my newly adopted relatives. We laughed together while I frantically tried to translate everything from French into English ...

... shortly, so we all went directly up there to grab some food. Mike, Pauline, Woody, and Suzanne, and I ate together. The sisters showed up with their bottomless pina coladas and entertained us with their "I'm a little teapot" routine that they've been working on for over 60 years (It still needs some work). The boat was starting to rock a lot as we pulled out of the harbor, headed towards Spain. Tomorrow is a sea day, and then only three more ports till we begin the crossing.

... recht neuen Fiat Punto bei Yassine's Kumpel gemietet (285 Euro fuer acht Tage), einmal durch die Stadt gefahren (was fuer ein Verkehr - Rom is n Scheiss dagegen!) und die absolut atemberaubende Megamoschee Hassan II. angeschaut, schon hats wieder geregnet. Temperaturen liegen aber bei guten 20°C und sind damit einwandfrei, von daher alles paletti. Um 18.30 Uhr hiess es dann fuer Yassine und Kumpel Tarik alltaegliches Fastenbrechen bei original marrokanischen Speisen. Wir haben ...

After Paris we had fly via Madrid to Casablanca. Famous name, huge city... but not worth of spending there a lot of time. We need to do it, coz we were planning to go to Mauritania and we were in need of visa. Till that day we were sure, like almost all tourists that u can have only visa in consulate of Mauritania in Casablanca. Procedure was easy: before 12am u r giving them 2 photos, 1 form, copy of passport ...

... Jules Gros might be and eventually, in a bit of frustration, deposited us in front of "shopping". We asked directions at an ice cream cafe, but ...

... country? Now we're moved out of the Old Town hotel, and in with some new friends in Hlenna(peace) district. This country blows me away, 2 hour meals and coffee breaks are typical. We went out for coffee on Saturday, and after 15 minutes the localsstartedgiving us weird looks. Rob and I were trying to figure out whatto do next, and they're all trying to figure why we're in such a hurry to leave. Rob and I are finally slowing down. More to come.
