Laundry special
They ran a special. Everything we could fit in this bag they would clean for $27.99. Time for some creative folding!
Day 11
Time to do laundry. We only took enough clothes for haf of the trip. We planned on washing clothes on the ship.
Mouse
A close-up of the mouse towel animal. So cute!
Towel animal
Whew! It's been a LONG day! 8 hours just for the bus ride to Marrakesh and back plus the tour. We were very glad to see our cabin again. The mouse towel animal was a good welcome home!
Back on the street
Walking to our next stop on the tour.
Zellige
This type of tile is called zellige. It's tile chips set in to plaster. Craftsmen are trained from childhood in this artform.
Oasis
It looks a bit like an oasis in this shot.
Bus selfie!
Ready to go!
Off the ship!
We had to walk to the end of the pier to find our tours!
Buccaneer's Wet & Wild
The kiddie pool at the back of the ship was really cool! We went to see it while we waited to disembark.
Casablanca port
The picture I had of Casablanca in my mind and the reality of the modern city were miles apart!
Up super early
It's going to be a long day today. We're stopping at Casablanca, Morocco but our excursion is in Marrakech, 4 hours away by bus.
Towel animal!
It's a crab tonight!
Calamari
Yummy calamari appetiser!!!
La Trattoria
Tonight for dinner we ate at La Trattoria, Italian food. Bill had his favorite, tomato and buffalo mozzerella salad.

Didn't buy anything
We tagged a few paintings we liked at the pre-viewing but it turned out they were all too much for us to buy. They had a drawing for free gifts but we didn't win anything. It was entertaining though. We enjoyed it!

We've always been invited to art auctions on cruises but we've only just passed by them. This time we didn't have anything else to do so we thought, "Why not?" They had free champagne anyway.
