and then Morocco in October – oh my! That was brilliant as well.. (added heart)

Our tour started and ended in Casablanca.. we choose only fabulous hotels, and Riads.. one proved very problematic due to the stairs, without rails, and no door locks… note to self!

This group of strangers from Sydney, New Zealand, South Africa, Brisbane, Beijing soon bonded to become life time buddies – the joys of travels! Oh what joy it brings me as well, to see the ladies find new friendships, and keep in touch, long after the trip is over!

Here’s a glimpse.. again.. 10,000 images..

Casablanca, Rabat, Fes, Marrakech, Essaouira and back to Casablanca..
