    To Tangier by minibus

    March 23, 2023 in Morocco ⋅ ☀️ 19 °C

    Today we leave the Blue City by very comfy minibus for a 3 hour trip to Tangier. We go through the Rif Mountains again, very spectacular. More very fertile farmland.

    Tangier is on the coast, you can see across the Strait of Gibraltar to Spain.

    We go to a supermarket to pick up food for "a picnic" in a national park.
    Then drive to where the Atlantic ocean and the Mediterranean Sea meets. A lighthouse. Here are many eucalyptus trees!

    We spend a few minutes at the beach, by popular demand. It was going to happen but people got quite loud as they wanted the beach.
    I put my feet in the Atlantic.

    We then have 3 hours free time but that's between 5-8pm when most things are closed. It is now Ramadan too so not everything is open.

    We then minibus to a private house where the woman cooks for us (for a fee) then we board an overnight train to Marrakesh at 11.30 pm.
    Very long day.
