We were up at 8 but it was really hard to get to the bathroom because there were 32 of us staying at the hostel and only 3 toilets. Thank goodness we were getting up and out! We headed across the square to meet Driss, but first stopped for a fresh squeezed juice from one of the vendors. We said goodbye to Driss (after giving him treats for his kids) and headed to the airport. The Marrakech airport is incredibly efficient and we were through security in no time. We had a ton of time to kill so we lounged at a cafe while enjoying a little breakfast. Mark and I were lucky enough to get the emergency exit row so I slept almost the entire flight 😃
We landed in Amsterdam with only an hour to get through customs and security but somehow we managed. We were starving so we grabbed sandwiches to take on the plane with us. We ended up in the emergency exit row again (two for two!) Woo!
After landing in Italy we decided to enjoy a meat and cheese board and a glass of wine (it was only Saturday after all) but didn't realize that after leaving the restaurant we would have to board an airport train to get to our gate 😂We made it with a few minutes to spare and even though we didn't end up in the emergency exit row, we did have a row all to ourselves. We landed in Tirana around 12:30am with mixed emotions (obviously we were tired, but we were also sad for our trip to be ending, while at the same time happy to be heading home to our own bed). The past two weeks had been an absolute whirlwind. We were beyond blessed to have had all of the experiences that we did between the three different countries that we visited. I hope, years from now, we'll look back on our travels and smile while remembering the people we met and the experiences we shared.
