Casablanca

As much as I don’t like it, we are into the last week of our cruise. But as ususal

we have future cruises booked.

Monday we were in Casablanca. We did not want to take the all day tour to

Marrakech but decided to stay in Casablanca. Then I had to decide whether

or not to take a ship’s tour. The main problem with their tour’s was that none

had a tour inside Hassan II Mosque and since we did not go inside the Grand Mosque

in Oman, I wanted to see inside this one. We decided to take our chances going

out on our own. We’re not great at negotiating taxis in foreign ports, but we did okay. 

We had a 3 hour tour of C and took the public tour at the Mosque. It was very nice.

We drove around the city seeing poor and rich areas. We stopped at the Habous

Quarter and walked through the souk. I had hoped to find bags similar to one I got

in Oman, but no such luck. It seems I always need to make a return trip to see or

purchase something I missed the first time. 

We made a couple of other stops in town including a Catholic Church with walls of

stained glass.
