We had free time in the morning to explore Marrakech further, but none of us felt up to heading into the medina by ourselves. A few people from the tour went for a walk. I had planned to go swimming in the grand pool at the hotel but decided against it because of my head cold. So, instead, I stayed inside and downloaded photos from my camera to my computer. Thanks to the hugely efficient Canon EOS utility software, it took around 3 hours to download 500 photos.
We had lunch at the hotel and then piled onto the bus for the drive to Casablanca. I’m not sure what our tour agents were smoking when they figured out the agenda for our trip, but for some reason we have to fly out of Casablanca when there is a perfectly acceptable airport in Marrakech with daily flights to major airports in Europe. We could have stayed another day in Marrakech and enjoyed the services at the hotel there, but instead we had to take the damned bus to Casablanca. There’s not much to do in Casablanca so we just drank wine in the hotel bar, had a grossly overpriced dinner at the hotel, and headed for bed.
