What! No gin?
That must have been disappointing, but the décor looks spot on (thankfully minus the hazy cigarette smoke!). And glad to hear the food was good :)

The decor was really nice, and we didn’t miss the haze of smoke, that’s for sure!

Your writing is very descriptive and enjoyable to read. That sounds like something a teacher would write on a students report but it’s true.

Gin and Tonic in Casablanca
Great to hear you arrived safely, and enjoyed your first few days of the trip. I seem to remember Casablanca being a big, busy metropolis and not quite so romantic as the name evokes. Sorry to hear that there was no gin at Rick's, but it sounds like you had a lovely meal. I love the GnT in the room - I always take a travel supply of brandy with me on my trips, for moments like this. I look forward to reading more ?

Gin and tonic in Casablanca
Thanks Alex, it’s so nice to know people are reading the blog. We brought gin and tonic to our Egypt trip, and are very glad we did the same here!
