Rabat-Marrakech (22nd birthday!)

Today was my 22nd birthday and It was the last day of our group trip all together. We all woke up and checked out of our accommodation and then set off to see some beautiful sights. We first saw the Hassan Tower built during the 12th century, it was projected to be the biggest mosque in the world but due to the king passing it was never finished. Beside it was the Mausoleum of Mohammed V and it was absolutely spectacular with its architecture and marble touches. After we went to the Kasbah des Oudayas and walked around before going on a traditional boat ride. Once finished we set off for our journey back to Marrakech and of course we had to make a pit stop at McDonalds (the American embassy) to have an experience… it was delicious! We then arrived at back to Marrakech and checked back into our original accommodation to drop our stuff of before setting off for our farewell dinner and to celebrate my birthday. We had some trouble finding a good place so we ended up getting food at the snack shack and then we found some delicious cake and went back in for the evening. We also heard many interesting cat calls from men in the streets that gave us good laughs and I got called Shakira so that was a win. That evening we all enjoyed each other company and wrote in journals notes and said our goodbyes to 3 of the girls who had to leave the following morning.

I am very thankful to have had the opportunity to spend the last 10 days with these amazing girls and create life long memories and friendships.Read more
