It's Dec 7, and it's our 5th wedding anniversary. We spent this special day mainly in the car because it's the day we were leaving Fez for Marrakech, and we were visiting Hassan II Mosque in Casablanca on the way.
I could say this is an unlucky day, because it's raining so heavily, so we could not stay long at the mosque. Also, we had an argument with our riad upon arrival in Marrakech.
I have booked Riad Aljazira through booking.com. When someone came out to the parking area to pick us up, we followed them and said good bye to our driver Mohammed. But when we arrived, I realized that this is not the riad I booked. The bell boy could not speak English, making everything even worse. He helped to connect me with a lady on the phone, she told me that we have to stay there for 3 nights instead at the hotel I have booked. I exploded and could not believe that they could just dump us at a strange riad and forced us to stay there. I am in great anger because no one sent me email beforehand and they even did not send me someone in person to settle this, and the long journey is also another indirect cause for my bad temper. Finally, I insisted to stay at where I have booked, but they could only give me two nights saying that there is a big group coming on the third night. When we were back to Riad Aljazira, the people stationed there could only speak French, so welcoming!!! Luckily, I asked for help from an in-house guest. The couple has been so nice to arrange a pizza order at late night.
Our driver came to meet us up to solve the problem the other day. Instead of having another argument, we just agreed to leave the riad as those people could only speak French. We gave a few conditions to them to source another riad for us. But we have to wait for their feedbacks.

Pulled out my wedding photo from the wallet. Love the torn corners.
The weather in Morocco was rather cold and wet on Dec 7.
Hassan II Mosque was the second largest mosque in the world, and this is the only attraction in Casablanca.
Riad Aljazira - Because of the arty courtyard, i booked this hotel. Intertestingly, i just got the last room from booking.com at Euro 65 per room per night.
