Caves of Hercules   The beginning of this story actually starts in Denver while I was on my way to visit my sister there. I took a shuttle bus from the airport and made great conversation with the driver. I mentioned that we were going to Morocco and he told me to visit the Caves of H…

I still have very vivid memories of back in 97 when I was still "green"--getting off the train in Tanger and trying to explore the old city in the early hours of the morning when there weren't a lot of people around.  A shifty looking fellow started following me insisting on being my "guide".&…

There is always going to be one blip in any travel plans. This was always going to be a day of travelling to get to our end destination of Ceuta, and having got in and seen about Fes we were free to set off early. Had thought about getting the bus, but trains are more comfortable and we had time on…

Morocco was lots of fun with interesting culture.

Before I get to the tour, let me talk about the taxis and roadways in Tanger. First of all, the taxis are miniscule! The remind me of the old school Volkswagen Rabbits or something. Anyway. They’re all painted the same, and all driven by madmen! Actually, I think that you have to qualify as legal…

Tangier is famous in Berber legend for being where the dove brought earth from to Noah and to the Greeks for being the land of the gods or "Beautiful People".  The Greeks obviously had never been to Miami. The city is just as I imagined it, full and bustling.  Many people still wear the…

Morocco road trip Blog

My company sent me for a knowledge transfer for 1 week to Hamburg + 3 weeks to Spain,an opportunity I couldn’t miss.Despite the big amount of work, lack of sleep, hectoliters of coffee I got to see some of the places I’ve been to as little child. The craziest was a weekend I spent in the south of Spain when a friend of mine visited me in Cadiz and convinced me to make the following tour within 2 days with her: Cadiz-Algeciras-Gibraltar-Algeciras-Tanger-Algeciras-Sevilla-Madrid.

A brief trip to Morrocco

Went to Tanger, Tetouan and Chefchouan.

During dinner with our Fes guide he said our plans to cross into Algeria and make our way into the heart of Africa were not the best laid plans for two white boys from New Zealand.  I was keen to get to CHAD and have my passport stamped on my birthday -seemed a pretty cool idea to me.Our host …

As part of my 2008 western European tour, I arrived in Lisboa coming from Gibraltar and Morocco. This is really the capital of an ancient world power.....I then went further to Porto to visit some friends of mine. Porto is quite different, but none the less also a great place to be

Jason and I went from Barcelona, Spain to Casablanca Morocco in 11 days. Our primary focus was the running of the bulls in Pamplona, Spain.

I traveled for 20 hours, y'all.  First, I had to catch the 22:20 train from Barcelona to Madrid-Chamartin.  It reached at 7:20.  Then I had to ride the metro to Madrid-Atocha Renfe for my 8:40 train to Algeciras.  Then in Algeciras, I had to catch a bus to Tarifa to get to the b…

In the middle of the winter we visited south Spain. We slept in the city Tarifa and if you are there, it´s just a few miles to Gibraltar and Tanger (Morocco). The cultural life in Morocco was totally different and a little bit frightening. In Gibraltar we survived an ape attack ;) Sorry for the bad picture quality!
