Just Like Websters Dictionary.......

At last we are Morocco bound.

We opted for a fast ferry from Tarifa so caught a bus around the coast and then the ferry for the 35 minute trip. Even before we departed, we could see the African coast.

We arrived in Tangier that has a worst reputation than Algecires so we decided to catch a train that morning. We went for the 11 am train to Meknes and arrived with 10 minutes to spare. The ticket seller told us it left in 1 hour and 10 minutes and then we realised the time zone change.

Meknes was a 4 hour trip and by the time we arrived, we had met a Berber gent, a French Moroccan lady and a young woman from Fez who has invited us to her wedding in 1 month. We may meet up with her in Fez in a few days.

Sorry for the delay in posting. We are still in Meknes and a report on Volubilis will follow.

We catch the morning train to Fez tomorrow.

Sounds like you're having much success in picking up strays!

How cool, what a shame you won't be there to attend her wedding.
It's not picking up strays, it's meeting new people!
