Morocco surprised me! I wasn't expecting the people to be so diverse and the food was SO good. I spent time in Casablanca, Rabat, and Marrakech. Day trips in each of those cities involved a ton of walking, transportation by train + taxi + cable car, and a few special souvenir purchases.
Day 1: Visit to the Mosque, In-home Cooking Class + Drinks at Rick's Cafe
Day 2: Trip to Rabat + local markets + quiet time with tea & cookies in a Blue City
Day 3: Marrakech by myself! Market + chocolate croissant + postcards
Day 4: Duty day on the ship
Day 5: Casablanca day, Hamman (public bath) + local market
That's it. The semester is winding down and so is my time on the MV World Odyssey. I have met so many new friends and absolutely enjoyed each of my experiences over the past 4 months.
