And....Here we are....Chefchaouen, Morocco! It all doesnt seem quite real yet. We had a wild day yesterday between the 6 hour train from Madrid to the port of Algeciras; Spain, to the ferry ride that seemed to take forever to ¨Tangiers¨, which then required a 40 minute bus ride to the actual city, and then a roller coaster 2 hour taxi ride to this small hillside village, arriving around 11 pm. No worries though as we picked up two fine assets on the ferry ride over, a lone Japanese girl who spoke French which came in handy and a globe trekking Aussie who was well prepared with knowledge. Together, we were safe and quite a team!
This is a gorgeous town, with blue building and amazing doorways surrounded by a medina, or fortified wall, with winding streets and alleyways, truly a great introduction to the country. We are unable to find wireless internet to use our computer but will try again tomorrow so stay tuned for a greater update and more pictures! These keyboards are rough! We will stay here tomorrow as well and relax some in this really authentic place before hitting the road again on Monday towards Fes.Until later, we are safe, happy, pinching ourselves because it seems like we are dreaming.......and yes, even still getting along!!!

ReplyDeleteGlad to hear you guys are off to a great start! I can assure you that you will most likely have many more of those long haul transportation days. They are quite exhausting. On the other hand, like you said, you meet other interesting travelers along the way.
ReplyDeleteThe town looks beautiful. I love the white and blue contrast. You both also look great; it seems like you may be starting to rough up around the edges,:D !
I look forward to more pictures and stories!
