Last day and fastest day. Averageover 22 kph with the wi!nd.
Someone once said,
go to Casablanca if you like warehouses
There’s some truth in that. It is a big, dirty city.
The coast between Rabat and Casablanca
Is basically like millionaires row for the first 40km or so. The crown prince has his property here, a large golf course and a port. No pictures of that sorry, it’s pretty well gaurded.
The coastal side is interpersed with golf courses and pool-centric apartment developments.
After a McDonald’s on the left, things revert to a normal Atlantic semi-coniferous coast line.
No hills. Flat coast. Simple riding.
Some of these guys out on the road under their parasol selling skate, Dorado, shrimps.
It takes me about 4 hours to reach my hotel in Casablanca. The East West hotel.
Once I get there I take my backpack, put it in the room and go and visit the bus ticket office to find out about tickets to Marrakech tomorrow.
It’s 244km to Marrakech, with no viable stops in between.

Only picture I took for the day was this rather splendid pizza.
Sometimes, only a pizza will do… This one, I got free wings and drink. All for about £9!
Benefits of being in the big dirty city…
For the next two days, I will be chilling in Marrakech, finalising a few things before my flight home.

The weather in the UK is set to change to good with sunshine…so it will be better when you get home. We’ll be back in a couple of weeks so I’m hoping it will at least be a little warmer than when we left in February. x
