Sorry I didn’t post last night. I had problems getting online, then photos took forever to upload. So here is yesterday’s activity in Tangier, Morocco. We boarded a bus for a ride through the city. We went by several sites then stopped at the Casbah, or old city. We went through...
We awoke to a beautiful sunrise which quickly disappeared in the rain. Nancy, a member of the group had booked a private tour for 8 of us in Casablanca today. When we left the ship we had to walk the 700 meters to meet our driver, Jussef in the rain. Then we had...
We were finally able to dock around midnight. The Marrakech group got underway early this morning. I’m so glad we opted not to go. They will meet the ship tomorrow in Casablanca. Our tour was at 9:00 AM. We went through a very short immigration. A uniformed man looked at our passports...
