... his life. Following that nightmare, we met up with the truck and the rest of the group. The ratio ended up being 6 girls to 17 guys. Good ratio ;) <br><br>We arrived very late in Gibraltar so we were unable to see the city and were immediately escorted to the stores to buy last minute items and summer and Gavin picked up our bulk food supply. To our wonder and amazement we discovered some amazing Spanish wine for only 1 EURO!!! Needless to say there ...

... the pool, cooking for ourselves, and watching MTV in German (South Park is hilarious, BTW) it was time for another adventure. <br>We ended up booking an actual group tour to Morocco for the day. We wanted to go check it out on our own, but it was actually cheaper to do it though the tour, so we got up at 5:45 in the morning on Thursday and got on the bus to Tarifa, where we would take the ferry over to Tangier. <br>Even though it´s only a 35 minute ferry ride, Tangier really is ...

... No words or pictures could fully capture the essence of this city, you just have to be there to fully experience its beauty. I then explored the city, going to places that are not commonly visited by tourists, I did some shopping, had a beer and tapas at a small restaurant and then walked through the park. Unfortunately, the day was cut short due to time restrictions and I did not have the chance to do everything I wanted to do but I will definitely be back.

... Its main street is mainly a walking street and is called Main Street. We had a leisurely walk back thru town and toward the harbor and the White Lady. As we approached the end of the town there was a large military parade occurring in the main square of town. As a British Army location, all of the pomp and ceremony that the British Army is known for was presented at the ceremony. It was a ceremonious reminder that this is still a place of military significance. We returned to ...

... leave class to go vom, one RD excuse himself to do the same, and my teacher could barely stand. While sitting in the student union for Global studies the window on the right sides was only showing water while the window on the left was only showing sky, 10 seconds later they were opposite. It's kind of fun, it's kind of like a rollercoaster; when I am ...

... not my place and I'm always keen to get back to the Spanish side but its a great place to learn to sail or in Spring months find a crew position on the many boats heading off towards Greece. I was heading inland to my parents finca below the idyllic, white washed village of Cesares. My parents moved here 8 years ago..it was the second house they saw and they fell in love with it or rather with the mountain and the spectacular views to the ...

... port of Tarifa. The area is generally known for one thing - wind - and it was here that veteran kite surfer Blake was hanging out through the early summer honing his kiting skills. By the time I arrived in mid July the school holidays were in full swing, so the area was jammed to the gills with families from central Spain ...

... but do show up from the main page if you click the itty-bitty "Media Distancia" on the main Renfe website near the bottom of the page. This is of course contrary to what Renfe says in that "all tickets must be booked in advance". So I could have looked up the Algeciras-&gt;Granada train times but I didn't realize until after the internet cafe was closed, hence, stopping in Algeciras to ask. It's a good thing we checked because the ...

... away, and with a view of container ships cruising through the strait. the strait of gibraltar! in the morning we found out we couldn't complete our loop around the rock because some boulders havd fallen and blocked a tunnel. so we rode up a bit, over, and off the rock back the way we came. leaving behind the haze of smog. for the next 2 or 3 days we could see the haze and the rock, yes it's even lit up at night.

... in for free. I think the guy thought he was a child. The tunnels were pretty interesting. The back end of the rock looked out over the the Spanish border. Someone had the bright idea to put a tunnel along this rock with openings for cannons. They could then fire directly down at them. They even had to design a cannon mount that could angle downwards. This tunnel saved them from being overwhelmed by the Spanish forces. After the siege ...
