Ferry to Morocco
Drove to Tarifa to get ferry across to Morocco. Stopped at lookout where we could see three countries at once - Spain, Rock of Gibralter ( much smaller than I thought) and Morocco.

Leaving Shit Chaouen
... tried visiting the Kasbah but had to wait for 30min until someone decided to open it. When we finally got inside we asked if there were exhibits in English as we didn't want to pay if we couldn’t understand anything. "yes, yes" said the man at the gate but of course when we got in there was no English and the gardens were in a state of disrepair- lucky it was only $1.50 to get in. When we confronted the ...
