The blue of Morocco

The tour operator had to change our accommodation in Essaouira because of Tim’s broken foot (he never could have navigated the stairs in our planned riad). This place was a modern hotel, with an elevator (such a rarity in Morocco), and had a pool that was lit up beautifully at night in that very Moroccan blue.

This will end the sub-gallery on Essouria, one of my favorite places in Morocco. Thanks so much for the interest, and now on to Casablanca, our last stop on this marvelous tour.
