... cool little bar.  It had writing all over the walls and along the walls outside, little ledges attached so you could stand with your drink outside.  Some of the kids hanging around were writing on the wall with texta, too much fun for Marty to resist.  He grabbed a texta and drew a love heart with 'marry me' written in it and tried to hide it behind his back while I came over to see.  Unfortunately for the moment, I ...

... As it turned out, we ended up in a bar that has a name but which I will always refer to as The Pope's Pub. The Pope's Pub was a very small affair. There were two bartenders. The place was crowded with patrons and the walls were even more crowded with religious kitsch.

It was sooo ...

... was open! What luck! Happy Habibi's Road Racers for Tourists, and other tricks we play on you. There was a "guard" sitting in the front office - not a word of English, French or Italian. He called his boss. After about 30 minutes Mama Habibi showed up and gave us the keys to her car for two days. We paid cash. We signed something in Arabic and drove ...

... eventually they found the stamping man and he did his job and we got off the ferry and onto Moroccan tarmac. We started to run to join the rest of the group when the guide told us to slow down...but we knew the group would be raging! When we asked again could we join the group we were told to wait, we later found out that another ferry had come in and we were joined by 6 more people from that ferry, so when we got on the coach everyone looked at us accusingly ...
