My flight to Casablanca was easier enough but was disappointed that the lounge was NOT available at the Hyatt. Always call the hotel if a Lounge is available.
I started feeling really sick with flu here, so rather than continue this difficult trip, I booked a flight home....
I have NEVER been so happy to end a trip!

Back to Istanbul...
After not being able to go to Lebanon, I tried booking flights from Kuwait straight to Casablanca. K found no direct flights and long, long layover. I decided to go back to Istanbul a city i am comfortable with and had a direct flight to Casablanca. I liked the Hilton on the river location.
A easy flight to Istanbul and this time not emotionally drained found my way out of the airport for the LONG drive INT, the city to my hotel. The new airport is great but takes forever to get to the city.
I again had a nice room overlooking the water and proceeded to the lounge for some food and drink.
My second day there I took a cab to a church that was so under renovation that there was just a couple of scarce rooms to see——A disappointment. I then took a cab into the heart of the city to visit the Cistern—another great disappointment as it was so dark that photos were impossible. I didn’t get it as there is no art work that could be damage by flash so why keep it so dark?
I walked a little then grabbed a rat bastard cab driver that cheated me. Always pay attention the the meter starts when you enter the cab.
