Travel Diary on October 25, 2016

We got up and left the hotel for Hammersmith.
I changed trains at Hammersmith for District line to go to Victoria, the nearest station to Buckingham Palace.
Lack of time forced us to just go to the souvenir shop.

From the airport, I took taxi for the nearest place in Rabat. But, it was so expensive from the airport to Bab Chellah. I paid 600 Moroccan dirham.
The taxi driver must have been a rip-off driver.

Even when we arrived at Medina, we couldn't find out today's hotel. So, I dropped in at another hotel to ask the location.
But, I couldn't figure out the exact place of the hotel.Then, the hotel-keeper made a phone call to a staff at today's hotel. A hotel-keeper at today's hotel came and saw me and guided us to the hotel.
