Casablanca -Morocco

Well a fairly hairy entry to the port at 6am when we literally broadsided into the harbour. Glasses went crashing in all restaurants as well as suites. Lots  of broken glass and plates and after 2 hours they literally had the place back up and running. Unbelievable what they did so fast. I lost a new bottle of perfume, crashed from the shelf to the floor. So we were very weary as we left the port and put things away that might slide. Casablanca has a pop of over 3 million and most  of its buildings are from the 20th century. We went to the Hassan 11 Mosque which is 210meters high. The prayer hall is the size of four footy fields and the crowd of 80,000 additional faithful can be accommodated on the sq outside. It has a roof which opens electronically when air is needed and you'd never know the speakers were there, everything is camouflaged so well. Lights as cleaned by hitting a switch and down they come. Their rituals are so different . All the other auxiliary facilities from schools to underground garages are on a  similar superlative scale.  Onto a church and a walk around where Casablanca was filmed  and then tour along the beaches (volcanic) not nice. Walk around United Nations Sq where a fairly new light rail was running. Not the nicest place but interesting.
