Kenzi Basma Casablanca

... for your entire time in a city and pay 25 dollars.  Sadly, upon our return to Casablanca everyone in my group got sick except 1 person and we were confined to our rooms and didn&#8217;t get to go to the city of Marrakesh. The Moroccan food turned against us. Once we all got over that we ventured around Casablanca and enjoyed the scenery there.  Now we are back on the ship for a week before getting to Ghana.<br><br>  Hope all is well in America!! More news from Africa soon!!

... way they pour it! 4. The weather: We heard we would be visiting during the best time of the year, and it is true. Most days are sunny with some clouds. It is breezy, and I'm already getting lightly tanned on the face, even though we haven't been outside a whole lot. 5. The kissing on the cheeks.

... of Rabat. Tangier For decades, between 1920 and the late 1950's, Tangier was a playground for adventure seekers and the rich and famous, attracting all those seeking a tax haven or a mystic destination, from authors to artists and spies to aristocrats. Regular visitors included the likes of Truman Capote and Tennessee Williams, and Woolworth heiress Barbara Hutton.

Another leisurely start to the day, leaving the hotel around 11am, after paying around 40AUD to have our clothes laundered - don't ask :) Decided we would go and see the new medina which was around 1km out of town, and was actually off our map - but we figured someone would be able to point us in the right direction... that someone turned out to be 3 different people pointing in 3 different directions. 1st someone sent us in the completely opposite ...

... marinated zucchine, shredded cabbage, and cucumbers. It was particularly challenging to pull the bread apart while using only our right hands (the local custom). Afterward, we were brought chicken which had what looked like livers and olives and raisins in the sauce. It was tasty, but the white meat was reportedly dry.

... after an uneventful flight. I wandered around to fill in time and sat in a cafe for a bit and waited for my next flight -- which was late as well. I settled in and had plenty of room and arrived in Casablanca about 30 mins late.. i came though immigration and customs fine and my bag was on the carousel which is always a good thing..! I found the only money man open and changed some Euro into Dirhams ...

... Bougmaar, or 'bouge-ma' as we came to call him) and Lynn and I had our first lesson in the Arabic language that night as we went back out to the airport to pick up Rachel from Montpon (actually English). The next day we swung past Temple Hassan II (super pretty, and some part of it is apparently submerged) and headed over to Rabat (the capital city).
