A means to an end
Tangier is like all the reviews say it is- a big dirty city with a few attractions. I tried to go to a few tourist traps while I was there, but I got really bored and wanted to get over to Spain as fast as I could. So I walked around for ...
Our entry into Africa/ Nuestra enstrada en Africa
... a problem. Tangier is a city where continents meet, lot's of movement at the port. You get a glimpse of what morocco will be but I must say Tangier is very european. It's got a huge beach, full of people playing all kinds of sports. We eat something at a ...
After my experience with Ray Smith
... when he spoke of people smuggling marijuana out of the country, he talked about the sniffer dogs, and how he has seen the Morocco customs, totally dismantle a car looking for drugs. Now it became a issueer, was I prepared to take the risk and ...
Back to Spain
... in Algeciras a day before we were supposed to. Algeciras wasn't exactly a tourist town. We needed another destination... *** We arrived in Tangier around 10 the next morning. We had no money and no map, so we started walking. We quickly hit the ...
Marokko
Den 16 februar leide vi leiebil ned til Marokko. Det var en lang tur, ca 60 mil til Algecira. På natten ankom vi Algecira og overnattet der en natt, før vi tok båten over til Ceuta. Dette er en del av Marokko som fortsatt er spansk, så vi kjørte en ...
Mexico road trip-Placido Domingo, Mescal, Shopping
Puerto Vallarta was hosting an international symposium of fireworks-for an entire week! Fireworks scare Sophie. We had to leave town. As it turned out, Placido Domingo was scheduled to open the new convention center in Zacatecas, a ...
Holy Cow, We're in Africa.
... restaurant for dinner, we sat in a rooms with carpets on the walls and musicians in the center and had a great closing meal for Morocco. The next morning we woke up early and went to the beach in search of some camels to ride before we left, ...
Celebration
I've almost escaped the wonderfully wicked grasp of Morocco. Stayed in Casa Blanca Last night, but not much to tell there. The towns like an over-rated Detroit or Omaha, cosmopolitan in a way but completely shit for tourist sites. They have a really ...

De la Vieja Europa a la Nueva África
Han pasado apenas unos minutos desde que llegamos a Tánger y ya sabemos que estamos a punto de comenzar algo verdaderamentre diferente. Es esa extraña mezcla de pasado y necesidad de progreso. Es el cielo que la cubre y los mares que la cercan, que ...
Last day in Africa-Tangier
On Sunday morning, we had breakfast before leaving our hotel in Tetouan and heading towards Tangier. We spent the day in Tangier going through the streets and learning about the city with our tour guide. We made one stop at spice shop where we ...

eyes everywhere..
... ferry in the blue blue water under the brightest sun we've ever felt took ca 1,5 hours and then we were in Tangier - first we exchanged some money to local dirhams...1EEK= 0,73 Dirham...of course they take euros and dollars as well but its more ...
Taste of Morocco
... of brightly dyed, pointy toed shoes the proprietor asked, "How are you today?" Is this your first time to Tangier?" "Yes. It's my first time in Morocco." "Welcome to my country." "Thank you. "You vote for Obama or McCain?" And so it went. ...
Arrival in Morocco!
... that seems so foreign yet located so close to Europe! We stepped out of the ferry, thinking that we have arrived in Tangier, which itself is a bustling seaside city. However, to our horror, we found ourselves in the middle of nowhere! Apparently this ...
Hello Africa! And goodbye Tangier....
... short and infact, you can see the mountains of Africa from Spain! It's not far at all, but very different on one side compared to the other. That's it for Tangier folks. Fes was a little more enjoyable, but even HOTTER if you can imagine ...
Detours
... had a Moroccan experience. (Elizabeth gets sleepy, and Brandon takes over the typing duties…) For a quick four hour tour of Tangier, it was rather entertaining. My only point of African comparison was a trip to Cairo last year, and while the ...
Camels, chickens, and fish, oh my!
... with them, while the rest of us bargained for other items downstairs. One of the most interesting things about Morocco was the bargaining. In the U.S. and even in Spain, we are used to a set price and knowing how much it will ...

Our first day in Morocco. The 11th anniversary of king Mohammad VI rise to the throne. ...
Morocco
... ! We were harrassed from the time we stepped off the boat to the time we got back on hours later. Due t the fact that Tangier is on the border much like Tijuana mexico I think it is actually a poor representation on what Morrocco is really like. Ther were ...
Tanger Danger, ik denk het niet
We besluiten alvorens naar Tanger te gaan, eerst Cap Spartel te bezoeken, het meest noord-westelijke punt van Afrika. Hier bevindt zich de 'grot van Hercules'. Hoe Hercules met deze grot verbonden kan worden is me een raadsel, maar de grot heeft een ...
Where are all the women at?
... us realize just how independent women in the United States really are. We also noted that not only is a woman’s role in Morocco different from the United States, but it is also extremely different from their role in Spain’s society as well. In ...
Thank you Tourist Police!
... palm trees, the weather was gorgeous, then we had to take a taxi to the port. The drive through Tangier was interesting. Driving is a bit chaotic in Morocco. There may be one lane but they turn it into two lanes. We passed a lot ...
First Weekend Getaway
... beat author (and a favorite author of mine) Jack Kerouac stayed during his time in Morocco. After a misguided taxi ride and an evening trek around Tangier's crooked medina streets, we finally found the hotel. Unfortunately, the price and room situation ...
