gorgeous views Bloomer - love to see all the warmth in a picture again :)))))))))))))))))))) lovely buildings and love the final shot of the sea :)))))))))))))))))))))))

The architecture is amazing Bloomer, I`ve never been anywhere like that, not a traveller I`m afraid so appreciate your sharing.
They have created so many beautiful buildings and yet their history and way of life seems so full of cruelty in so many ways, bit hard to understand really...

Thank you,Carole..I would have been happy to stay there longer too,and we never expected the Mosque to be as beautiful as that :o)
So do I Lou..maybe you will one day,eh? ..another cruise sometime ? :o)
Thanks Paul,their craftsmen are brilliant,aren't they?and
like you,I love the sea ,especially watching the waves..:o)

So do I Lou...maybe one day you will get there :o)

Thanks Paul, glad you enjoyed the visit..brilliant crafsmen,aren't they? ..and like you,I love watching the sea,when it's rough..:o)

wow! what a beautiful place, love that blue and green fountain mosaic.

Thanks Sticki..it really was a work of art....

some of these palaces are gorgeous arent they and so relaxing

Lovely blog Bloomer. The place looks so clean and well cared for

Thanks Sheilar...A lot of them were..mainly the touristy places and special buildings..but the city itself,is a drivers nightmare..almost every road is dug up,as they are laying a tram line system throughout..cars and other transport just drive and park wherever.! our coach driver had to try about 6 times,just to get out of his parking spot..no one gives way..and all traffic signs are just invisible to a lot of them..but that is how it is..so they just accept it !..and lots of very poor areas ..saying that..it was still an unmissable experience..sorry to burst the bubble..I showed you the best bits ! :o)
I don't know what happened with some of my comments above..! I wanted to remove the replies I did seperately and add them altogether on one reply..so clicked 'edit' to remove them..it obviously didn't work ! just in case you were all wondering what the heck I was playing at ! Lol.

What an amazing building - fantastic. a holiday to remember.

Thank you,Sue...it was..The Mosque was so tall,I had a crick in my neck,just looking up !

What an incredibl beautiful place. Thanks for taking us there.

Thank you,Nariz..nice to see how other people live,and their culture.:o)

Hi Bloomer! Just catching up...
What a wonderful sequel...thank you! :))

Morocco now moved up into second place after Zanzibar on the bucket list! :))

Glad you enjoyed it,Karen..will post the last part soon..There was also a trip to Marrakesh,but it was too far,although some did it ..3 hour journey each way !..we saw so much,as it was so near the port..

Looking forward to it, Bloomer! :))
We've been thinking about a two centre holiday in Marrakesh and Casablanca for quite a while...now we've met someone who has a place in the Atlas Mountains...

Too many places in the world still to see!!!!

Those are fantastic photos, Sandra ... thanks for showing them ... the intricate design is beautiful ... what a shame though that some people have all the luxury while others struggle to live day to day ... much the same in parts of The Algarve if my memory serves me well ... :o((

Lucky you,Karen.I hope you get to them all one day.:o)

Thanks Shirley..it's so different from other places we visited..so a nice experience..I agree about the poverty and the elite. all places have their downside..but some get more than their fair share..so glad I was lucky enough to be born here...however much we knock it, at times....
