Hotel Metropole Casablanca

... isn’t too much to see (especially compared to Barcelona) so our tour consisted of about 4 or 5 stops and a lot of time spent at each one, which got boring. One was a palace, which was cool and very detailed with tiles and everything, but we went to almost every room in the place and they were all very similar. Another one was a mosque, which was pretty interesting. Another place was a fixed-price store, which is actually pretty rare for Morocco. We ...

... my Frogger-like abilities crossing the street in india or of how it was at all possible that i did not get eaten by a bear or a lumberjack while in Alaska. no matter what you do with this email once you receive it, thank you for giving me an outlet and being a part of this on-going experiment (whether it's purposely, or by the luck (good or bad) of me stumbling upon your email somewhere along the way) in any capacity. sometimes it feels like ...

... the guys sold me when they came up to us and said, "Obama, yeah??" I told the group that I liked that place and that we would be eating there, no questions! The hostel situation in Marrakech was not pleasant though. I will not give you the details of that terror, haha, but let's just say that one issue was that there was no heat... and it is winter in Morocco right now. We went and rode camels the next morning. That was an... experience. I do not think I will be doing ...

... with hejabs or even burka-type coverings. Mariam said that the Berber women are tattooed on their faces, so they often will cover their faces for that reason. We also saw young people dressed in the same thing you would see them wearing at home. Of course there were also a lot of tourists there. The people were very friendly. Several times we were stuck in traffic next to a busload of people and it was no time before we were all smiling and waving to each ...

Sind jetzt seit gestern in Casablanca und es bleibt nur eins zu sagen : Geilomat hier! Flieger von Frankfurt landete puenktlich um 16.10 Uhr Ortszeit. War im Grossen und Ganzen ne entspannte Sache... Netten Nebensitzer gehabt, kein Gewackel und ja: Das Essen an Bord war sogar richtig gut. Am Flughafen selber hat man mich aber nicht gerade freundlich begruesst: Das Empfangskommitee bestand aus einem eigentlich recht funktionsfaehig aussehenden Geldautomaten, der aber meine VISA ...

... up to the coast of Morocco shrouded in mist as we make our way towards Casablanca. Pete tries to call the Yacht club only to be informed that it is closed down and we need to travel another 11nm north. Aarrrggg. At least it's not south... Arrived in Mohammedia and received a warm welcome from the Marina manager. Our fears of how welcome we would be here were allayed. After a quick clean for our visitors The Glover Family, we made our way to the train station and head by ...

... travellers just waiting in front of the redundant check in desks. It dawned on me that we were no nearer checking in, it was just that the upstairs arrivals hall had become so congested they were forced to start packing people in here. I fought my way through rows upon rows of chaotic queues until I came to the Royal Air Maroc desk. We're off, we thought - only we weren't. Apparently the plane hadn't even left Casablanca. As suspected, we had ...
