20231118 To Casablanca: Left hotel a bit before 9:00. David and I took a taxi to the bus. It was really a long way away. And, even though it was downhill, we just didn’t want to deal with it.
We travelled through a large valley that is all agricultural. Sugar cane, melons, strawberries, etc. Lush soil. Lots of water. Some villages along the way.
As we approached Rabat, the highway changed as did the carefully tended landscape. Afterall, it is the capital and where the king lives. Around 2:00 we got to our destination, the restaurant Dar Rbatia, for a traditional Moroccan meal … lots of courses and lots of food. Ended up leaving there about 3:30 and headed to Casablanca arriving around 5:30.
As with our first nights, we are at the HYATT REGENCY, CASABLANCA. Nice to have a room with all the amenities…desk and chair, room for luggage, great bathroom, etc. Went down to the lobby and the bar to meet with others around 6:30 until 8:00. Then up to the room to rearrange everything in my suitcase and camera bag.
I will get up about 6:30 tomorrow, breakfast at 7:00, and leave hotel in our regular bus for the airport at 8:00.
It’s truly been a trip of a lifetime. Not only the sights, sounds, food, but also really learning about the culture and history. And how this country is so different from what many think of Moslem countries. Ishmael is master guide and source of information. Ron has been lovely to be with as a friend. And many thanks to my fellow travelers, Ron, and Ishmael for the care and concern they gave me when I was sick.
