You may remember that I recently went on an epic vacation to Argentina followed by a tour that included the Falkland Islands, South Georgia and Antarctica. I got back less than a month ago and the thought of putting as much energy into my next trip (in 6 weeks) as I did into that one, well, it seemed exhausting.
I have had to put a bit of effort in though. I booked my flights with Air France. I get to spend 10 hours in Paris on the way there and overnight on the way back. I land two days before the tour starts and I leave one day after it ends. So, some hotels are needed. To my favourite hotel site: Booking.com.
Again, lazy planning, keep that in mind and don't judge my lack of adventurousness. I just booked two nights into the hotel where the tour starts in Casablanca. It is fine. Big hotel. Whatever. At least I don't have to take a taxi again. Hotel Gomissine. The tour info states that we don't spend any time in Casablanca so hopefully two days will do (I'm sure it won't).
I ran into a bit of trouble trying to book into the hotel where the tour ends in Marrakesh. The hotel is fully booked! So, I looked around but, curse you Booking.com, they showed me the top rated hotel in the city and it is beautiful. Nowhere near the hotel with the tour, but did I mention it is beautiful! And top rating (9.6!) and on sale! Additional taxi be damned, I booked. Riad Mazaj. Hey, they have airport service. This just gets better and better!
