In plaas van die tipies vervalle Afrika-mentaliteit is die inwoners Europees stylvol, die strate skoon, en oral is ontwikkeling sigbaar.<\/p>\n<p>Die lekkerste verrassing is egter Hotel Central, ons een aand se verblyf in Casablanca. Aanvanklik het ons nie veel hoop vir &#8216;n goeie, skoon nagrus gehad toe die taxi vir ons en Michael (&#8216;n Suid-Afrikaner wat ons op die lughawe ontmoet het) by &#8216;n stowwerige, raserige plein in die ou Medina afgelaai het nie. Maar toe ons voete eers oor die blou en wit mosa\u00efekdrumpel is, is daar skielik &#8216;n nuwe opgewondenheid. Die te\u00ebltjievloer lei ons op met &#8216;n ou spiraaltrap, verby hortjievensters waardeur &#8216;n pienk malva loer, na &#8216;n skel, helder oranje en blou kamer. En wanneer die venster se houtluike oopmaak, l\u00ea die hawe &#8216;n entjie agter ons plein op die horison.<\/p>\n<p>Laat namiddag durf ons die finansi\u00eble en kommersi\u00eble hoofstad van Marokko te voet aan. Dit is &#8216;n stad waar wolkekrabbers in strak kontras staan teen die klein winkeltjies van die medina en sy nou kronkelstraatjies; waar jy verby hordes nederige klein huisies loop, voordat jy reg langsaan in die luukse Rick\u2019s Caf\u00e9 instap. Al is ek en Ben hopeloos te informeel geklee vir hierdie spoggerige restaurant en klavier<em>-bar<\/em>, so reg uit die fliek <em>Casablanca<\/em>, word ons tog verby die fluweelgordyn na die <em>bar- <\/em>toonbank begelei, &#8216;n ander era in. Terwyl ons stadig aan ons duur Casablanca-bier drink, met die legendariese \u201cAs time goes by\u201d in die agtergrond, onthou ek die woorde van die <em>Eyewitness Travel<\/em>: \u201cThis is a city where the prosperous rub shoulders with the paupers\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Maar dit was vroe\u00ebr die middag al, toe ons met sonsondergang oor die groot, oop plein van die Hassan II moskee gedrentel en met foto&#8217;s die magiese atmosfeer probeer vasvang het, dat daar &#8216;n gemaklike onrustigheid in my kom l\u00ea het &#8211; ek het besef dat ek in die volgende paar dae my hart stil-stil op hierdie mooie land met sy vele verrassings sal kan verloor.<\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"
