Hotel Alboran Algeciras

... br><br>The next day was the official day we would be entering Africa via a ferry from Spain to the Spanish providence in Africa. There we stocked up on lunch supplies and alcohol due to the fact that Morocco is a dry country and we are quite the group of lushes. (Well at least a handful of us). The insanity of the amount of alcohol we had to get into the truck was awe inspiring. We were trying to cover six weeks&#8217; worth of casual drinking for 24 people.<br><br ...

... many of us who finished off our bottles over the course of the night. I ended up staying up pretty late talking to a Kiwi, Craig. <br><br>Other comments I have. The tents are quite nice and they look VERY durable which is particularly important. We divided into cook crews and I somehow ended up on two. Weird, the North American group (me plus my Canadians) put me on theirs and Pete and Craig thought I was going to be with them. I decided to stay with ...

... Jennie and I had to hide from security whilst Alex and Max attached a new trailer full of tyres! Later we stopped at a service station where Max bought us dinner!! Cannot believe how nice and hospitable people are over here! Sadly our time with Max is now over as he was heading home for the weekend..and we are currently in a 24hr service station waiting for the truckers to wake up which could be some time!

... nemen tot aan hun app. Algeciras is op zich ook vrij groot, maar het is eerder een havenstad en der zitten praktisch geen erasmussers, vooral veel werkende mensen. Tom en Kris wonen aan het strand van Riconcillos, in een van de buitenwijken, echt super gezellig, zo'n straatjes met huisjes (dat zie je bij ons niet). Steff woont bij nog drie andere erasmussers (van Frankrijk), maar meer in het centrum van de stad, vlakbij hun school eigenlijk. Toen we aankwamen, was enkel Tom thuis ...

... roots in the soil and the sun, not to mention that more than half the world has never had even $20 extra to allocate toward a hotel room, much less for tourist purposes. People sometimes put down 'lowly&#8217; backpackers, but they (we) open up paths for the rest of you fat-ass old ***** with your money and your cocaine. We should get 10% off the top. We do, one way or another.

... is relatief... De Rots van Gibraltar is indrukwekkend, zelfs terwijl 'ie voor een groot deel in mist gehuld is. Nog indrukwekkender zijn de grote vrachtschepen die voor anker liggen. We varen er tussendoor en slikken iets weg bij het idee dat we die 's nachts opeens voor ons op zien doemen. Niet aan denken nu, eerst de Straat maar eens door. Gelukkig zien we voor en achter ons meerdere zeiljachten, dan hebben we vast de goede tijd gekozen. Vreemd dat er twee ...

After one night in Athens and one night in Milan (which has an amazing cathedral), we started out at 4am and flew from Milan to Malaga, Spain and have been on 2 buses, a plane, a ferry and we're about to board an overnight train to Marrakech! Crazy! We've ...

... was going to pull his gun off of the wall and shoot the guy on the TV! A thunder, lightning, and rain storm came in at night and washed dirt over the roads and gave us quite a show too. There was fresh snow on the high peaks when we left. Well, after a long travel day, we are in Tangiers, and will be boarding the ferry tomorrow morning for Spain. Our flight out of London to Nairobi leaves on the 8th so we will spend a few days on the coast in Spain and ...
