Luxor Crowne Plaza Casablanca

... br><br>So. It was an experience. Once we were settled in a cabin with only the four of us, other than a HOT three hours to Marrakesh, it was ok! We bought &#8220;lunch&#8221; from the tea cart that came through, dozed on and off, and viewed the gorgeous and interesting landscape whizzing by &#8211; mountains; rugged plains; pockets of oasis-like topography; mud-colored stone huts and houses; abandoned palaces; bits of farmland here and there; skinny goats ...

... 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&#8217;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 ...

... island, i'm going to be sure that i got all the food freebies i was entitled along the way (i've read Lord of the Flies, i know what happens if you're the weak one). and i guess i worked up a bit of an appetite when watching the video on "Air"obics. who knew rolling your neck, circling your shoulders, and shaking your feet could be so complex?! [break] by monday night, i had arrived in Casablanca, grabbed a train into the city, jumped into a taxi, and was enjoying a well ...

... time to think over all their talking and putting items in your face. But the prices made the purchases worth it I guess. We caught a taxi back to the port gate after spending the morning in the royal quarter which was mainly a clothing district and then walked to the Seaman's center for lunch and internet access. I loved the Seaman because the menus were in English instead of French or Arabic. I got fish and chips which was really good and fresh and also ...

... food turned out to be fairly decent. There were a couple of English speaking patrons around, but all of them seemed to have either a good command of French or french friends to help them. From the drive we saw that the touristy Rick's Cafe was only a block away, so we decided to head there. Touristy it no doubt was, but very well done, although the doormen surely must have failed international doorman school by being far too friendly and welcoming ...

... in Feb 2008 and contained a map without a scale and no reference to any tourist points; oh well - it appeared Casablanca's tourism support infrastructure in terms of information was a little lacking.We ended up using both maps for our travels. After the tourism office we visited the central market which was a relatively small city block containing fresh food on the inside and either prepared food or clothing/trinkets on the outside. Again we witnessed fantastic flower arrangements ...

... primeira refeição oferecida consegui rejeitar o frango deixando-o para o Raki, aqui não tive mesmo escolha. 8 dias depois da partida o vegetarianismo caiu por terra. Acho que ja nao falta mais nada nas minhas « manias ». Comi muito. Comi mais do que a fome, comi como se não tivesse visto comida em semanas. Tinha uma salada ao lado, e pimentos grelhados com um molho de cebola e a carne era de alguma coisa que não reconheci, ou ja não sei distinguir, mas não era ...

... and catch a train to capital city - Rabat (1h / price 36dr) ACCOMODATION: Auberge de Jeunesse. I recomande it. It's a hostel situated inside of medina (arabic old town), not far from train station Casa-Port. U can have there double room (no empty for us) or bed in 5-bed room (sex mix impossible, in effect i was with 4 other guys, and my gf Kasia was only one in her room / price: 60 dr per person, with breakfast)

... faceplates were in Arabic and French, we struggled to understand the displays. We did purchase, for 10dh ($1.25CAD), a small booklet ...
