A day out in Casablanca, a big dirty city or a dirty big city which ever way you choose. In any case, it is the biggest city in Morocco.

First stop the Hassan II Mosque, the size of this building is difficult to grasp but to put things in perspective you could fit St Peters or Notre Dame inside the prayer hall.

An interesting piece of trivia regarding the film Casablanca is that none of it was filmed within a 1000 miles of this city so 'of all the gin joints', 'play it again Sam' and here's looking at you kid' did not happen here.

Our final stop was at the Novelle Medina to sample the pastries at the famous Patisserie Bennis which proved to be well worth the visit for the cake magnet.
