Rick where are you when we need you?

Casablanca, Morocco

Hmmm. In a town made famous by a movie there is no glamour to be had. Rick, from the movie, wouldn’t like it. Drinks are hard to find and then very expensive when you do locate a place willing to sell them.

Nowadays it is primarily a port and industrial town with its only cultural claim to fame being the world’s second largest mosque (after the one in Mecca). It has room for 100,000 people at one time. Other than that it has an airport (which we came in at) and a bus station (which we used as soon as possible). Not one of our favourite towns.
