Leaving Tangier

We had a bad sleep; noises, the “music guy” = muezzin is on time at 3 am in the morning screams to pray; it is very loud!!! 15 minutes later it seems that we have a bonus >:-< the muezzin comes on again, hmmm is this a bonus???? because is Saturday morning and we should be grateful for the weekend????

We set the alarm clock for 7:15 am, but we forgot that the clock was still on the “French time”, therefore it was 6:15 am in Tangier. We went out to visit “Kasba” an old fortress on top of a hill that guarded the straight of Gibraltar. We walked out on the street and streets are deserted, I am happy it is for the first time we are here and we can actually walk together on the street without fighting a crowd.

We were up at Kasba overlooking the sea? or the ocean? it is a good time to meditate….

According to our book, Tangier is the place where you can swim in the Mediterranean sea in the morning and Atlantic Ocean at night.

It was a good morning; back to our hotel we finished packing , getting a taxi and going to the rail station.

Wops! when we arrived at the station we realized that is in fact 9am, not 10am as we assumed, and we had two hours to wait for the train our train departs at 11 am. Oh well, the rail station is nice and has good coffee 

Bye, bye Tangier
