Ticket – Part 2
Tuesday, April 4th, 2006Finally I went and picket up me e-ticket. Here it is in various sexy poses:
Not quite as satisfying in hand as an actual ticket, but something to look at nonetheless.
I got some quotes for accommodation in Casablanca but they wanted to rush me R1680 for two nights. I kid you not. An airport transfer was R560. Yessus, mense who fall for these must be jas in their heads. Especially nowadays when you can book for yourself over the internet.
I’ve also been kak stupid. Initally when I got a quote for flights I made sure I checked the transfer times at the airports. Having been in KL airport for an 8 hour stretch, I don’t lus to go through that again. Yet… I didn’t check my layover times at Heathrow when I booked my final dates. Turns out its 9hours going there; 2 hours coming back. Too long and too short! Aaargh!
Going:
Leave Cape Town to Heathrow 19h55 16 May Flight time: 11h55 Arrive: 06h50
Leave Heathrow to Casablanca 15h40 17 May Flight time: 3h25 Arrive: 18h00
Returning:
Leave Casablanca to Heathrow 10h50 16 Feb Flight time: 3h25 Arrive: 14h15
Leave Heathrow to Cape Town 16h45 16 Feb Flight time: 11h30 Arrive: 06h15

On the Morocco planning front, my guide book and phrasebook arrived today. Morrocan Arabic looks completely different to normal Arabic (to my untrained eye at least) and the Rough Guide seems great so far. I still haven’t picked up my ticket but this is the week I need to sort out accommodation in Casablanca and get proof of that accommodation. Then it’s sending all my stuff to the embassy to get my visa. Anyways, laters…
