Colin ventured with us to a new country - Morocco! After a long day of travelling from Toronto via Paris, we were welcomed to the Sofitel in Casablanca with an unexpected room upgrade and snacks. Colin liked the marshmallows the most.
The next day we did a quick tour of the Hassan II Mosque - the third largest mosque in the world (and one of very few mosques non-Muslims can visit). We then took a train to Fes.
Our train was delayed because of heavy rainfall. Colin was pretty tuckered out by the time we arrived at our riad.
The Riad Mazar in Fes was beautiful, and the staff were incredibly friendly. Breakfast was included in our room rate, and it was scrumptious!
We did a half day tour of Fes, at the recommendation of our riad, and it was the highlight of our time there. We learned a lot. Unfortunately, we didn't take any photos of Colin since it was raining, and the alleys in the Medina were packed with people.
The next day, we embarked on a three-day desert trek. We started by driving through the Atlas Mountains.
We then ended up at the Sahara, where we took a camel ride to a desert camp for the night.
The two camels in the foreground were ours.
More from Morocco soon!
