BISSAU TO CASABLANCA

Hello everyone. Roy is on the move again. This time heading to Casablanca from Bissau. Wonder what awaits him there?. Could it be he is meeting up with Bogart and Bergman!. Here is a little history of Casablanca:

Casablanca (Spanish for "white house" ; Standard Arabic: الدار البيضاء transliterated ad-Dār al-Bayḍāʼ; Moroccan Arabic: dar beïda) is a city in western Morocco, located on the Atlantic Ocean. It is the capital of the Greater Casablanca region.

With a population of 3.1 million (3.8 million in the "greater Casablanca" (September 2005 census), Casablanca is Morocco's largest city as well as its chief port. It's also the biggest city in the Maghreb and the sixth biggest city in the entire continent of Africa. With a majority of the modern economic sector being based in the Casablanca region, and the Casablanca area being dominant in industrial and service sector activity, it is often and justifiably referred to as the economic capital, although Morocco's political capital is Rabat....

Oh by the way, Roy has hinted his next stop will be where mummies can be found!.
