Spain across trhe Straits to Morocco

We aussies and a lone kiwi remembered AnzacDay today as we moved countries yet again. Strange feeling to be with so many people for whom it had no significance (until we explained it); Today we left Seville bright and early and headed down to Tarifa, the most southerly port in Spain and just west of Gibraltar which we visit later in the tour. Tarifa is another of those Arab words. From it we get our word "tarrif". The trip down got more and more hilly and windy the closer we got to the port. ...

On the Town in Tangier

Today was our day to discover Tangier. We had the close attention of Mohammed, our local tour guide. After the usual town tour to get the feel of the place and see some of the faded buildings where faded multimillionaires and movie stars had owned or done something in years gone by (can you pick up from this that I don't care overmuch for the celebrity cult which sweeps the western world and Morocco too) we got down to the real business of the day. The Kasbah. We took the bus to near the top,...

Tangier: the beginning of his journey

... of omens to make the crystal shop the best it could be. Once had had enough money and was ready to go back Andalusia Urim and Thummim came back into his life. As Santiago held the rocks in his hand, they transmitted to him the strength and will of the old king."He held Urim and Thummim in his hand; because of those two stones, he was once again on the way to his treasure."

A day in Tangier

... look a little different these days.<br><br>We did buy a few things. Susan got some spices. Jessie got exotic-looking slippers in the style the local girls were wearing. Nick got a rock with crystals in the centre, which he informed me was a geode. Russell got a used novel in English for a euro. Not bad.<br><br>Then we caught the 6 o'clock fast ferry back to Tarifa. We'll stay here another day and then continue on the Gibraltar.

... many more! Which nation has the most good looking men out of the countries you've visited? Germany and probably Spain, the italians would be good looking if they werent so sleezy!! What is the most appealing language you've heard? i love Portugese. It sounds so much smoother and more romantic than Spanish or Italian. Apart from getting your bag stolen, what is the hardest/challenging thing you've had to deal with? would probably would be being by myself and not having the ...

Un Finde en el Extranjero

... common to see horses or donkeys drawing carts down the main roads. As for the attractions in Asilah, it's mostly all about the medina (the old walled-in town) and the ocean. Sadly, the beaches were full of litter, so they were better observed from afar. The medina was quite beautiful, though, and most of my pictures are from within its walls. According to wikipedia, the medina was built in early 1500s as a fortified town on the sea. The original walls are ...

... enjoyable or stressful and infuriating. In Egypt I was often under the impression "Inshallah" was an out, a way of saying "maybe it will happen, maybe it won't" or "I'll get to it if I don't have higher priorities" to avoid taking responsibility if a desired outcome like a bus arriving on time did not happen. "This is not Inshallah. You have to make sure it happens," I kept finding myself saying to people I dealt with in Egypt.

... Berber trading center" and "modern Disneyesque destination for wealthy tourists." I walked through what seemed to be an entire suburb of gigantic new palatial hotels. As seems to generally be true in Morocco, most of the action is in the old walled town, the medina. At the center of it all in Marrakesh is the Jemaa al Fna, the expansive city square. Throughout the day, there are stalls selling dates, figs, sweets, etc, stalls laden with hundreds of oranges ...
