Morocco Tomorrow!

Today was another thrilling day of classes before we reach Casablanca tomorrow.  We spent pretty much the entire day anchored in Gibraltar to fill up on fuel for the last time.  Now that we have left we are officially finished sailing the Mediterranean which is hard to believe.  Also since we left the Mediterranean we have hit pretty rough seas again and the ship has been rocking quite a bit.  They told us that for some reason the swells are particularly bad coming in and out of Casablanca so we should be prepared.  Tonight was our final preport meeting of the voyage – it is so weird because it seems like everything came and went so fast.  By now none of the information at preport is new and exciting – just the same old safety stuff.  As far as my plans for Morocco, I am spending the first day exploring Casablanca, including a short city orientation trip.  Then the remaining 3 days I am on a SAS trip to Marrakech which includes camel riding in the Palm Groves.  I can’t wait for another port in Africa, and hope it is fun as the last port of the voyage!
