This morning we left Essaouira on the last leg of our tour of Morocco, heading to Casablanca.

T_24_1012 We passed through a number of small towns and villages on our drive.

T_24_1013 We would occasionally stop for a coffee and washroom break.

Hamid, our tour organizer, salutes us (or maybe just his coffee) at this stop.

T_24_1018 At times the countryside is quite arid.

T_24_1014 Two young girls kick around a soccer ball in one of the towns that we passed through.

Our final destination was Casablanca. We had now completed our circuitous tour of Morocco.

T_24_1027Hassan II Mosque We were back again at the Hassan II Mosque.

The next day we would fly from Casablanca to Montreal, spend that night there, and the next day take Via Rail to Ottawa, where our car had been parked. Then the last leg was our drive to Sudbury.

A memorable trip had taken us on a large circle route to many Moroccan highlights.
