Hotel Continental Tangier

... later, I landed along the sunny beaches of Tangier - errr... without a clue how to proceed.<br><br>Ah, but at least I was finally in Morocco!<br><br>Fast forward - no less than 4 different taxis, and a most blessed Moroccan-Spanish angel later I landed in Chefchaoen..........absolutely THE most magical place I have ever seen.<br><br>Seriously - mere words fail. This lovely mountain village is utterly the most charming place on ...

... both really enjoyed Tanger which had a real buzz about it, and we spent ages wondering around the maze of narrow alleyways in the medina.<br><br>The town came alive at night time and we continued to wonder around, looking in all the little shops, where we bought some peaches and a big bag of dates for about 80p. When we got back to the hotle at around 11ish we sat on the roof terrace to look at the view again and let the sea breeze cool us down.<br><br>We left Tanger this ...

... they are speaking and our sweet Jessica never protests).  And what's worse is that I also start forgetting what language I speak and give her this broken english all day long just to confuse her. So well anyway, after almost a full day of resting at home in the garden recuperating  we went into town for a tour. Its quite charming and the old medina is exactly what I would have pictured only smaller. Everything is so so small. The pathways in the ...

... lanterns. It was really awesome! As this bar settled down, we decided it was time to move on ... so we headed to an Irish Bar. Somehow we made friends with the owners of the bar and hung out with them all night. They let us take pictures behind the bar and made sure our drinks were plenty strong. We think we went to bed around 4:30 am ... definitely a great start to 2009!

... matches his Mama Deenas. Yes, monkey calls each of his mums by a different name so we know who he is referring to. We certainly did have time to burn. We spent the rest of the time drinking double shot, strong as poison, cafe o laits and buzzing around. After Ramadan fasting was over, the people were happier and more relaxed throughout the day. The men seemed to just sit around drinking mint tea in cafes. Doesn't anybody go to work? What the hell do they ...

... she even turn one?? where the hell was i!?!? hahaha. oh my lord i miss hamish and andy so much! we were actually talking about them in lagos up on the rooftop - all the aussies around europe adore them. i could listen to them live but i would have to be up at 8am and currently thats too early for me. love all the random info keep it comming :) oh and please check to make sure bretty is looking after the towel rail adequately! say hello to everyone for me - oh and ps i miss your schnitzels!!!

... old man running a telephone shop. Sadly, the dinners were mostly uninspired. We had a hard time finding restaurants where the locals ate dinner because it's much more traditional to eat the evening meal in the home with family. Also, at every dinner, we were joined by up to five stray cats that would beg for food. One of them was really crazy, and it kept jumping up and batting at me! We did find a really nice place to buy sandwiches for lunch, though ...

... You&#8217;d think a trip they do several times a day every day they&#8217;d just about have down to a rhythm, but&#8230; you&#8217;d be wrong. Everybody in Tangier speaks Spanish, so linguistically it&#8217;s not too challenging, which is good. Sometimes I&#8217;m not in the mood, and my French ain&#8217;t really so good. There&#8217;s only one way to change that.<br><br>So I half-way like Morocco, but that other half that I don&#8217;t like is ...

... for children. Other than that last one, its a pretty romantic setting. Just north of the square are the souks, medieval-style markets arranged in an impossible labyrinth, lit from above by occassional rays of sunlight that slant through the coverings. These were a lot of fun too, mainly for being able to become lost. Around town I also visited the Ben Youssef mederasa and the Saadian tombs, two sites with breathtaking carving in stone and cedar. Also there was ...
