Cannon Hotel Gibraltar

... only 135 Euros - we like it like that!!!

We ran into Tian who runs the Cantina in our old marina while sitting in a pub in Gibraltar and had a great evening with him, plus a couple of others from Port d'Andratx. They had brought a 30m motoryacht down from the port to refuel. We had dinner onboard drinking fabulous wines, eating the hugest Mallorcan prawns followed by lamb and celebrated Si's birthday at midnight with Moet. It'll take us a day or two to recover from that!!

... in 1930 and all the spys gathered here during WW II. We were met by our guide and a private driver: Morocco is all hustle and bustle. Cars share the streets with motorcycles, bikes; pedestrians, and donkeys pulling carts. We were taken to a very exclusive hotel to have lunch: It overlooks the ocean and is very swanky: They told us to order the fish since we are by the sea. We each ...

... few times. As one particularly insistent guy follows us toward the border crossing, I completely lose my grip. "NOOOOOO!!!" Then a stream of obscenities that would have made a pirate blush came out of my mouth. I called him and all of the other touts standing around every name I could think of and basicly dared them to do any thing about it. I had hit my gypsy breaking point and this douche bag was catching it full force. The guards at the gate found this to be pretty ...

... the street. After a decent walk, we found a place and enjoyed our last Moroccan breakfast. Then we had to confirm our flight to Germany - after finding a place to call Germany - they said yep its fine and sounded as though we didn't really have to call after all... the buggers! Back to get our bags, we got a taxi to the port. A few touts raced up asking if we wanted fast boats, but after saying no we had a tout free walk into one of the ferry ticket offices where they ...

I made the mistake of arriving in Tangier too early for my train to Marrakesh at 11pm tonight. The station doesn't have a locker so I was forced to eithre walk around with my huge pack all day or find a cheap place to leave my bags. Walking around Tangier with a huge pack on was about the worst case scenario I could think of. The faux guides in this city feed off of the weak and believe me I would have been looking pretty pathetic lugging that thing around all afternoon. The port ...

... for a superb final Fez meal - veal tajine, chicken with rice, mixed salad and two plates of the special aubergine dip that he made "especially for us", and, of course, the obligatory mint tea, which we would prefer to have missed as we were worried about getting to the train, all for 45 dm - excellent value. We are on the train now, heading for Tangiers. We will really miss this lovely country. Raymond's Travel Page
