Rabat to Casablanca missed the plane


When we got to Casablanca we missed our plane to Mauritania so we had to  stay there for a few days.  While Baba was booking a hotel for us on his laptop we just sat down waiting and waiting.  We then took a taxi to the hotel called Le Zenith.  When we got there the hotel was HUGE it was so big it had a swimming pool and a spinning door.   We went in and it  was awesome.  We went and checked our rooms.   Me Hamza and Shayma in one room and Nidaa Walaa Dad and Mum in another room.  It was so cool because to open the door you have this card and we were a floor below My mum and dad so we went back to them and had room service because the restaurant was closed.  The next morning we went to a restaurant i had coco pops.  Then we went to jumua'h salah  at the big masjid.   After salah OH DONT REMIND ME we had to walk a mile looking for McDonald's.  It was so hot and I was really tired but  my dad kept saying: "ice cream ice cream! come'on Asmaa not long to go.    Finally we got there we ate out side it was soooo cool.  After we relaxed at the restaurant we went to catch a taxi back to the hotel.   We caught two taxis when we went Hamza and my Dad got lost while me and my mum and sisters where chilling in the hotel then we went to bed.

The next morning we went to the restaurant to have breakfast. Then we went to our mum and dad's room and relaxed while my mum and dad were busy one was on the Internet and the other one was organising everything.  Then my dad said ok its lunch time lets go to a  restaurant so we went we looked for a KFC but we couldn't find one so we went to PIZZA HUT instead. After  that  we went back to the hotel.  This time I went with Hamza and dad and brought loads of snacks with us.

The next morning we went to Morocco mall. Which was Shayma's dream come true. She loved all the designer shops and clothes.   When we got there we walked around for a bit. Then we had frozen yogurt CHOCOLATE FLAVOUR OH! YUMMY!!! This was our last day so after that  we went back to the hotel to get the luggage there was a a car waiting for us to take us to Casablanca airport and then straight to Nouakchott this time it was by plane.  When we got to the airport we got there early so  we had to wait for a long time.  While we where waiting we got some Chewing GUM.  I will tell you all a tirck its when ever you go on a plane make sure that you  take some with you because it will help your ears especially on Air Maroc. :-)

Tangier to Rabat- Vomit Everywhere!!!


The Ferry was late but when it came there was a long queue.  We got on the ferry with everyone.  I was enjoying it even if I was a little bit sick. It had 2 floors we stayed on the low one first but when it started to move we went to the top floor on the deck. I started feeling better because of the fresh air and the beautiful scenery. We saw Jabal Tariq..It was a beautiful view to see the island with a cloud over it. We took loads of pictures.  After that it got a bit cold and windy so we went inside.  It looked so cool just like an air plane I was a bit tired so I had a nap.  When we went out of the ferry we caught a shuttle to Tangier port then we got on to a taxi and went to Tangier train station.  Next thing you no people were ripping us off like crazy, my dad was shouting so much but he did have a reason. The taxi men were asking for a lot of money. I know they were lying.  At the end the men got what they wanted.  But dad was still upset at how they were lying.   When we went in the station my  dad brought drinks and guess what?? the best bit about being ill is you get your own drink I had a 7up all for myself.  everyone else shared Orange juice.   When we got in we had this cabin with six seats it was much better then the hotel train.  I was sooo weak and tired:-( my dad told me to have a nap so I did. when I woke up I had a bit of 7up which gave me a boost again.

We arrived to Rabat train station at 9.15pm when we came out of the train we had to take the luggage down really fast because the train was going to carry on to the next stop.  The worst thing was the train was so high from the platform. I had to do a big jump really fast.   After that we  went to the hotel called Riyyad siddi Fateh, when we found the hotel it was very nice and quiet but we where all ill apart from Shayma and dad.  When we were sleeping Shayma and my  dad went to Mac Donal's  then Guess what?  she vomited it all out in the middle of the night :p                                                                          

The next morning we woke up and ate some Moroccan breakfast.   This time we did not have to walk a mile it was in the hotel THANk GOD!  But the things they served there was pretty nice but not too nice because I was still ill so I could not eat everything.  Then we went out to a masjid to pray but it was closed so we went back to the hotel and prayed.  After that we went to have a nap because we were all ill.

In the evening,  we went to Mac Donald's but Shayma and Nidaa stayed at home they were still tired so me Hamza my mum and dad went only I had a few nuggets and chips Hamza had a burger my mum and dad had huge burgers we took some for Shayma and Nidaa.
The next morning, I woke up at 10.00am we ate the rest of the morning. We went out and caught a tram around Rabat then we went back to the hotel and chilled for a bit.  For lunch we went to McDonald's again!  Then my dad left us there to go and get the visas.   He then came back to the second floor where we were waiting for him, with a McFlurry but he did not even get to have any.  Do you know why??  because I HAD IT ALL HAHAHAHAHAHA :-P

Then me, Hamza, my Mum and DAD went to pick up the luggage from Siddi Fateh while we left Shayma, Walaa and Nidaa at the station.  We took so long that we missed 6 trains.  Finally we got back and caught the train to Casablanca.

Algeciras, getting SICK!!!

At 3.15 pm the Madrid train was going to leave to Algeciras.   My Mum and Dad sat together, Hamza and Shayma were forced to sit together hahahaha!! Also Nidaa and Walaa sat together, but me I had four seats ALL TO MY SELF!!!  

For 5 hours, I saw beautiful scenery from my window. There were many mountains, hills and valleys.
My mum kept showing me the beautiful orange trees and of course the many many olive trees much bigger than the olive tree I had in my garden. As it was getting dark from one side on the other side I could see the sun saying goodbye.

 When we arrived it was 8:00 pm. when we got off the train we asked a taxi to take us to marina victoria hotel he was an old man and very kind not like the other people he said its a five minutes walk and not to take a taxi...if was someone else they will drive you around half of the city but this man was nice, he didnt want to cheat us.  We did not understand him a lot but he pointed to the hotel and we could even see it.  Then we went to the hotel it was a beautiful weather you can see so many birds but it smelled of smelly fish!!! :-(  When we got to the hotel we had dinner in a restaurant and then we went to bed.  While I was sleeping I woke up because I vomited on my bed.  I think I vomited four times that night.   I WAS SOOOO ILL!!!  :-(


The next day my dad went to go and get the tickets for the ferry.  I was still very very ill while my dad was getting the tickets the rest of us went to look for a place to eat in when we found one my dad caught up with us soon.  The man gave us everything that was on the menu for breakfast.  We had salami,  eggs,  lots of olive oil and orange juice but I had mint tea and AGIAN in a few seconds I VOMITED IT ALL OUT:-( in the restaurant.  My mum  quickly took me to the hotel I had a shower and got changed then we took all the luggage  and went to the ferry port.
