Morocco Trip - Fes to Moraira - 12 & 13 Nov

 Having left Fes at 7.30 we had one last "pit-stop" before arriving in Tangier with an hour in hand before our 14.00 ferry sailing. Compared with Wednesday, today's journey has been excellent on much better roads.

 Our spare hour was spent eating our rolls and fruit on the beach at Tangier.

Bob and Janet, our walking friends and trip organisers, can relax too having almost got their "flock" back to the safety of Spain.

 This unusual and non-pc sight was a fitting end to our visit to Morroco.

 Our Driver, Pepe, and our "coach-minder & facilitator" Youssef say a final goodby. I could not understand why Youssef slept on the bus overnight as we had removed our luggage but the answer to my query "what could they steal?" was obvious - the Bus!!

 As we left Tangier we passed this French Cruise Liner disguised as a Tall ship.

 This Strait is very busy with Tankers, Cruise ships, Fishing boats etc and our "Jet ferry" travelled at very high speed - an exhilerating and very smooth crossing back to Spain.

 The ferry approaches Tarifa and home.
Then back to the Royal Costa at Torremolinos for a really nice dinner, a walk along the promenade and an evening of entertainment, too noisy for us but very quiet in our room and a restful night. On Saturday morning the journey home started a 9.00 and Pepe, our excellent Spanish driver, got us back to Moraira by 5.30. An interesting trip to see a whole different culture, many thanks to the organisers Bob and Janet.
