Day 7: Fez

 Saturday 7th September.

Good morning Casablanca, a quick walk around the park in the city centre. Not many really old buildings, most destroyed by earthquakes over the years. Then when the french had control they did their best to modernise the city.

Past Rick's Cafe

And onto the Hassan II Mosque. This was awesome 

Onto the coach and we travel 2 hours to Rabat, capital of Morocco.

It is quiet a modern city. We visited Mohamed V Mausoleum 

We were lucky enough to see the changing of the guardes.

Other sights around Rabat before boarding out train to Fez (4 hours)

Great city where girls just wanna have fun.

8pm welcome to Fez

Day 6: Casablanca

 Friday 6th September

It has been a long day of traveling, leaving 8am.

First leg was by coach to Gibraltar.

Second leg by Ferry to Tanga Med taking 2 hours.

Third leg 20 minute coach to Tangiers.

Final leg a fast train to Casablanca. Arrived 7pm.

Enjoyed seeing the rock of Gibraltar which had far more high rise than expected.

Tangiers railway station was nice a new

And the train was fast, 300 km/h

Buy by the time we got to the hotel all I wanted was a beer.

Day 5: Seville

 Thursday 5th September.

Yeah, got to sleep in until 8 am. But after breakfast it is off by foot through the old town. The area know for flamenco dancing in the late night bars.

Then onto the area of Seville Cathedral.

Then another block and we see Royal Alcazar Palace.

The Alcázar of Seville, officially called Royal Alcázar of Seville, is a historic royal palace in Seville, Spain. It was formerly the site of the Islamic-era citadel of the city, begun in the 10th century and then developed into a larger palace complex by the Abbadid dynasty and the Almohads

The palace and gardens were most impressive.

Behind the palace is the university which is housed in an old tobacco factory. Yes the one Carmen worked in who is the main character of the opera by Bizet.

Onward we marched with weary feet to Plaza de Espana.

Wow, that is spectacular!
