Lyrics for your perusal are below. Now the King told the boogie man You have to let that raga drop The oil down the desert way Has been shakin' to the top The Sheik, he drove his Cadillac He went a-cruisin' down the ville The muezzin was a-standin' On the radiator grille (ow!) Sharif don't like it Rockin' the Casbah Rock the Casbah Sharif don't like it Rockin' the Casbah Rock the Casbah By order of the Prophet We ban that boogie sound Degenerate the faithful With that crazy Casbah sound But the Bedouin, they brought out The electric camel drum The local guitar picker Got his guitar-pickin' thumb As soon as the Sharif had cleared the square They began to wail Sharif don't like it Rockin' the Casbah Rock the Casbah Sharif don't like it Rockin' the Casbah Rock the Casbah Now over at the temple Oh, they really pack 'em in The in-crowd say it's cool To dig this chanting thing But as the wind changed direction And the temple band took fire The crowd caught a whiff Of that crazy Casbah jive Sharif don't like it Rockin' the Casbah Rock the Casbah Sharif don't like it Rockin' the Casbah Rock the Casbah The King called up his jet fighters He said you better earn your pay Drop your bombs between the Minarets Down the Casbah way As soon as the Sharif was chauffeured outta there The jet pilots tuned to the cockpit radio blare As soon as the Sharif was outta their hair The jet pilots wailed Sharif don't like it Rockin' the Casbah Rock the Casbah Sharif don't like it Rockin' the Casbah Rock the Casbah Sharif don't like it He thinks it's not kosher Rockin' the Casbah Rock the Casbah Sharif don't like it Fundamentally can't take it Rockin' the Casbah Rock the Casbah Sharif don't like it You know he really hates it Rockin' the Casbah Rock the Casbah Sharif don't like it He really, really hates it 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare drron29 Posted March 31, 2023 Author #63 Share Posted March 31, 2023 Back at the ship and a bit of a rest before trivia. Unfortunately bombed out at trivia so no points. I'm in mourning. Much better luck at golf. A tie for second in a remarkable turnaround. After 2 holes was quite a way behind the leader. Was in a tie for fourth with 2 others. On the last hole the three of us all had a hole in one but only 1 fellow in front of us didn't crash and burn so second it was. Getting into cruise mode again. A routine of waking early, shower or bath then breakfast in the Arts cafe. Then time to get ready for an excursion. Tangier today. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare drron29 Posted March 31, 2023 Author #64 Share Posted March 31, 2023 In Thursday's Chronicles there was alittle note pointing out how to join the other place that can't be mentioned. Also we did print out all our excursions for this cruise but not the dinner reservations. Went to My Silversea to chck up but you can't get the activities on a cruiseyou have started. So we called by Reception to find out what we have reserved. Fortunately found out we had a reservation at La Terraza that night. However they could only bring up and print out the reservations for the first 10 day segment. At least I couldn't see any one else's bookings. So to La Terraza. First the menu. The lights were not in a good positio for photos but here it is. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare drron29 Posted March 31, 2023 Author #65 Share Posted March 31, 2023 First as usual the Antipasti plate. Then the lovely bread basket with garlic. Rojaan had the white wine of the night a Pinot Grigio and I the Italian red both were quite satisfactory. ervice was a little slow at first but once our order was in no problems at all. Quick,efficient and enjoyable. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare drron29 Posted March 31, 2023 Author #66 Share Posted March 31, 2023 Rojaan started with the Carpaccio and I the Penne. Both good. I then had the tomato soup. It was good but not as good as on our last cruise on the Dawn. For mains Rojaan had the Pappardelle with duck ragu excellent. I had the veal chop. Just a little dry. For sweets Rojaan had the Babb a Rhum and I some Gorganzola. My menu didn't have it on but Rojaan's did. Fortunately hers was the right menu. An enjoyable night. We were both very tired so back to the room. Before 10 minutes elapsed Rojaan was fast asleep. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare drron29 Posted March 31, 2023 Author #67 Share Posted March 31, 2023 Awoke on Friday morning steaming in to Tangier. Once again smog but not nearly as bad as Casablanca. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare drron29 Posted March 31, 2023 Author #68 Share Posted March 31, 2023 Only 1 naval vessel in port but a constant stream of ferries. Even hop on hop off busses waiting. We felt Tangier was a much nicer place than Casablanca. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare drron29 Posted March 31, 2023 Author #69 Share Posted March 31, 2023 Now on the drive to Tetouan. The high speed train. The train line obviously built for the high speed train. I certainly hadn't expected the countryside to be so green and productive. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare drron29 Posted March 31, 2023 Author #71 Share Posted March 31, 2023 A dam for Tetouan. And a comfort stop at the hotel La Palomaon the outskirts of Tetouan. A nice looking restaurant which for Ramadan does a buffet for 120 dirhams (US12). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
