Sea day today, and a bit grey and choppy outside, so here's a snap from yesterday in of the Hassan II Mosque instead. After our visit to Rabat we returned to the city our ship was docked at for an evening driving tour of some highlights and the chance for a little bit of shopping. Casablanca and driving are not the best of friends. But, very enjoyable nonetheless. Madeira tomorrow.

It's late evening with the sun somewhere to the left and low down, a sky of darkening blue and layers of patchy before clouds above. We're looking across an open area in front of a mosque. The flooring is bright, clean, patterned marble with a couple of tall arches within square frames of stone set to the left and right of view ahead of us, framing the religious building behind. The mosque is a long, low, large, stone building with a low sloping roof of green, all behind a colonnade of arches around its exterior. Central, and in front, angled so we can see all of one side in shade and another slice of a side lit by the sun on the left, there is a minaret, square-based and very tall; ornately decorated up its length and with a few windows and balconies; topped by a smaller tower and a decorative spire with three globes speared.

@neonbubble they do say not to stay in #Casablanca or you'll regret it.
Maybe not today.
Maybe not tomorrow..

(What? Someone had to do it 😛 )

@neonbubble I was there last April and that Mosque is fantastic. I toured the country via private car and driver. That was the only Mosque I was allowed in. The rest of Casablanca is just a huge city, nothing worth seeing, but the rest of the country is a must see for a traveler.
