Day 5 Morocco (The Last Day)

I was so glad to be back on the ship. I fell asleep instantly and slept in the next morning for our last day in Morocco. At noon, 5 of us went to the Hamam. The problem was that taxis only took 3-4 people and taxi drivers don’t speak English. So we took two separate taxis and ended up at two different hamams.

So of course I get there, and they do not accept debit cards so Randall and I had to cross this street to get to an ATM. That was a fun mini- adventure.

The Hamam was really nice, I was the only guy in the whole guy’s area. It started with a steam shower/sauna which lasted for about 20 minutes. Then the guy (yes unfortunetly my masseuse was a guy, but Morocco is a very conservative country so I wouldn’t expect it any other way) did this exfoliating rub all over my body and when I say all over, I mean all over.  It took a layer of skin off and it felt really really good.

We then went into another room where he gave me a full body massage. Oh it was so relaxing, especially after 3 days of hiking. So I got all of that for $30 where my mom during Spa week in Phoenix got only a mani/petti for $45. So I beat her this time on the luxuriating battle.

After that Randall and I took a taxi back to the ship. The taxi driver decided that since there is one more spot left open, that he would pick someone else up as well. That was interesting. We then go back to the ship  around 3pm and treat ourselves to my first cheeseburger in about a month.

It was a very relaxing day and a good ending to a good time in Morocco.
