Casablanca... pour la denier fois

We arrive about noon - harrira at 'la fleur' not the best but available!

We walk to the old medina - I can't find the vegetable market -- quite busy, We buy
'mitts' for the hamam...and dodge groups of 'clandestine' immigrants from sub-saharan Africa who are here waiting to find a way to Europe - not loads of them (mostly male) but a bit daunting all the same.
I do a trial walk to the boulangerie with the best 'fourrie' in Casablanca - about 8min from the hotel - all the doormen are happy to give me suggestions! I make it - ready for breakfast tomorrow!

We eat dinner in the hotel - we like the food and choice but one restaurant is trying to set a 'certains standard' and the servers are quite 'snooty' -- almost underbearable. The style is the new deconstructed - I have tangi one night - tasty! The millefaille with amalou also
deconstructed - not quite so impressive.

HassanII mosque is on our list - we are late starting out but fortunately so are the tours we catch the 10qam english!! - about 20 people in our group. The Mosque never fails to impress - it is beautiful and showcase of all the best workmanship in Morocco -- we go
from here to the ridiculous Morocco Mall - 100mad and about 20min away -

The Mall doesn't seem nquite as 'glitz' as when I saw new and the french store AuPrimtemps is no longer here. However lots of people with 'bags' so someone is buying!
We have a lovely lunch sittiing on the balcony looking at the Atlantic Ocean...really nice.

Take the Casablanca Tram back to centre ville and hotel - the trip is 8mad and 13stops!!
A little difficult to see where we should transfer but everyone very helpful - Im following Deb!
