Africa
Morocco facts & history
in brief
Our ferry arrived to Tangier around about 8 pm.
local time (There is one hour difference between Spain
and Morocco time).
There was some annoying hassling after we've disembarked
by Taxi drivers and self proclaimed 'tourist guides'
for a while, but we soon got into our stride and off
we went looking for an suitable and affordable accommodation.
We spent the next day exploring the city's old and new
towns and market places.
Later in the day we took the train to Rabat the capital.
It was about 6.30 pm, when we arrived in Rabat and managed
to find a hotel just across the road from the station,
it looked OK and reasonably priced.
After a quick shower and change, we went out to look
around the town, and walked right into the night market
at the end off the very wide and beautiful boulevard
running front of our hotel.
We did buy a few things at the market, that was noisy
and very colourful.
After a early rise and breakfast we went to explore
Rabat, from head to toe.
Most of the town is fairly new, clean and tidy.
Casablanca was our next stop, which we found just the
opposite to Rabat, too big, too disorganised and neglected.
From Casablanca we went by train again to Marrakech.
The first thing we wanted to see the morning after our
arrival the famous market or the "Souk".
Rushed back to Casablanca by train of course, after
thoroughly exploring Marrakech to catch our plane to
Bamako, Mali and to Tombouctou eventually.
But that is another page, another story.
