April 16th, 2017 - Moroccan Road Trip

Left early this morning and made a quick photo stop at Meknes, the first Imperial City, founded in the 17th century.

 

Then it was on to Rabat and the Kasbah. The Chellah ruins and surrounding gardens were fascinating. The real highlight here for many of the visitors, including myself,  was seeing all the nesting storks and their huge nests. The males come first to build the nests, and then the females follow to lay their eggs.

 

Stopped at the Mohammed V Mausoleum and the adjacent Hassan Tower.

 

Made our way back to Casablanca and did a little wandering around in the souks of the Old Medina before re-boarding the ship.

 

Looking forward to sleeping in after the whirlwind five day road trip in Morocco.
