The Atlantic and the Moroccan coast. Waves and huge sandy beaches. Ahhh, finally a few days of vacation awaited us. Slow pace and adaptation tamalim . Sleeping from 12pm-3pm in bed and not in a car seat. 
Two nights were not enough to really rest and the weather was also bad. It was around 20 degrees, but windy and cloudy. We didn't swim (we had a pool). We had a really beautiful apartment in a holiday village in Mohammedia. Approx. 30 min drive from Casablanca. Due to the bad weather, we also decided to go see the Hassan II Mosque . 
Driving straight to the mosque was not my idea! It was terrifying, stressful and difficult. Three-lane roads, roundabouts, pedestrians, donkeys, tractors, old and new cars, buses, trucks, no, it's not. Everyone is in a hurry, everyone is going somewhere. They are rushing . A three-lane road and two gentlemen with an overturned cart of eggs decide to cross it. No crossing, no traffic lights. We're crossing a three-lane highway with 1,000 eggs in the middle of the worst rush hour traffic.
As I wrote before, Google Maps doesn't work in Morocco, Vasko nervously monitors the traffic. That map turns us around, leads us into some strange side streets. Me I often give a little stroke, my mother. It's millimetres at every intersection. Vasko stops the car, we argue, I want us to take a taxi, he wants to drive on. I'm not exaggerating, it's not that bad... Male ego in style I'm a driver or not , then it somehow gets us to our destination. By the way, GPS is always a bone of contention for us.
We get parking two steps away from the mosque. We pay If we had driven for another five minutes, we would have diarrhea from the stress itself. We arrived without any extra hassle. In retrospect, we chose the roads a little more carefully and it wasn't so bad. Tamaladva fell asleep right away anyway.
We dropped Klara on the ground to make it happy computer around. With your mini palm tree and with a curious look she attracted attention again.
We only saw the mosque from the outside, we didn't go inside because the line was very long. The Hassan II Mosque is the third largest in the world. It is recognizable by its white and green color. Seeing all those mosaics up close is magnificent. The minaret is 210m high (the second tallest in the world). The construction was completed one year after I was born, in 1993. It stands on the Atlantic Ocean, so Muslims can pray at sea. It was built half on the sea, half on land. King Hassan II had it built in memory of the deceased King Mohammed V. The architect was the Frenchman Pinseau and they wanted to make a building that Casablancans would be proud of for the rest of their lives. Construction began in 1986, and the mosque was supposed to be finished by Hassan's sixtieth birthday - in 1989. During the most intensive construction, 1,400 craftsmen worked during the day and 1,100 at night. And here's how much it all cost: 585 million euros. 12 million people donated to build this huge building. It is mostly built of Moroccan materials: granite, marble, wood and plaster. Only white marble and 56 chandeliers were imported, which came from Italy. The mosque accommodates 25 thousand worshipers, and there is space outside for an additional 85 thousand worshipers. 
I highly recommend a visit, I really enjoyed taking pictures of the children in front of the fountains and by the mosaics. Really fine We had a good time. Two tamales they could run around freely.
After vacation in Mohammedia, we continued on to the blue town of Chefchaouen in the north of the country...
