The Route
We planned this trip with two priorities: we have to go to cities we've never been to and make sure we get to Marrakech. We have been to London so Paris was our entry into Europe. Portugal was a new destination for us and we chose it because Lisbon had quick and cheap flights to Marrakech. Our flight from Casablanca to Rome was cancelled last minute so we booked flights out of Marrakech to Rome. In Rome, we met and stayed with friends who were traveling across Italy.
