04.28.2024 Tangier, Morocco

Today was our final African port. We were scheduled to go on the included tour with Viking but decided to just go tour on our own.
Following breakfast we gathered our things and took the free shuttle Viking offered into town.
Since it is Sunday it seems fitting that we will visit a few Churches. We climbed up to St. Andrew Church.
The Church of Saint Andrew is an Anglican church in Tangier, Morocco. Consecrated in 1905, the church is within the Archdeaconry of Gibraltar. The building is constructed in a Moorish architectural style.
It is only 10:00 am and services don’t start until 11:00. We walk through part of the cemetery that is located in the church yard. Always interesting to see the history of those buried.
We move on to the Cathedral of the Holy Spirit. The Roman Catholic Cathedral of Tangier, whose full name is the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception and the Holy Spirit, also known as the Spanish Cathedral, is the seat of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Tangier, Morocco.
Mass begins at 11:00 so we thought we would stay but possibly duck out if it was in French and not English. We listened to the children sing and the priest asked us all to move into the first few pews so we decided to leave. It is a beautiful Church.
We wandered through a few Souks and then returned to the ship in time for lunch around 12:30. It was a nice morning.
We found a comfy lounger by the pool and just relaxed.
We attended Church in Torshaven at 6.
We watched sail away from the Explorers Lounge and joined Vicki and Randy.
Myron went to the show and Diana returned to our cabin.
A beautiful sunset.Lue lisää
