Tangier

We were up very early the next morning as we were off for a day trip to Morocco! Got the ferry no problem (although it left late) and a free bus from Tangier Med port (60km away) to Tangier. Explored a bit. Ate (yummy!!!) and explored some more. The marketplace or Old Medina, was awesome and just as I had imagined it would be with lots of alleyways and twists and turns so you get completely lost and mixed around. Had some Moroccan mint tea at one of the first tea houses in Tangier (represented by the fact the phone number only had 4 digits). Found some nice older monuments and the old wall which is not crumbling down the cliff. Bought some nice souvenirs and then headed back after about 8 hours in tangier. Hotel = bed time.

Tangier was easily enjoyed within a day, but I am very sure that the rest of Morocco has a different aspect and part to enjoy and we would recommend exploring it.

Gibraltar

We arrived at the perfect time into Gibraltar as there were no lines to get through customs.

Drove up the Rock and had a great view over Africa and Spain. Within the national park we eventually found the monkeys =) and enjoyed their exploits a lot, until one that was on our car fell off, and in doing so, ripped off our back window wiper (thankfully we fixed it - mostly - so that the rental company shouldn't find out). Getting out of Gibraltar took a bit longer, which seemed pointless as they didn't even do customs check this time! Got to our hotel and pretty much just went to bed.

Just a quick stop in Gibraltar, but in all seriousness there truly isn't much there apart from the monkeys.
