so, the trip from spain to morocco was quite an adventure to say the least. we
\nhad a 11 to 13 hour drive to do that would last all night long. we absolutely
\n*had* to get the car returned in the rental place at the south ti^p of spain by
\nclosing ti,e (2pm) since the car rental place wasn’t open on sundays and we’d
\nend up stuck w\/ the car for an extra day and a half and not be able to get into
\nmorocco till we returned it.<\/p>\n
to make things interesting, our map didnt show half the freeways that were in
\nour directions, and a lot of freeways had different names in real life than on
\nour map. most of the time we were utterly confused and had to keep stopping
\nover and over. most of the street and freeway signs were undecipherable and
\nconfusing and honestly, i’m still kinda shocked that we found our way. by
\naround 11am, we rolled into algecirac, the most southern point in spain,
\nslightly delirious (we all only napped slightly on the way). though most of
\nthe route was at night, the part of spain that we saw in the morning was
\nextremely beautiful: rolling hills, some weird houses carved into cliffs, etc.
\noh yeah, one crazy thing about the car. it had no key. instead, it had this
\nlittle card that you put into a slot and then you push a button to start the
\ncar. weird eh?<\/p>\n
after getting to algeciras, we took the ferry over to morocco. we braced
\nourselves for the chaos ahead of us. we’d all heard that morocco is very
\nintense, but tangier (the part of morocco we took the ferry to) was supposedly
\neven more crazy… it’s considered the tijuana of morocco. we basically
\nexpected to be accosted fro, all sides by touts, beggars, have people grab at
\nus, etc etc. we’d heard stories of girls being kidnapped and put into
\nharems… basically, all sorts of crazy shit…. but it really wasn’t like
\nthat. it was relatively chill, we took a taxi to get to the train station and
\nthen killed some time there until we got to take the train to fez. heh, oh
\nyeah, one funny thing from the train station… when we were buying our
\ntickets, the guy told us that the men and women had to go separately in morroco
\nand we couldnt sit in the samz compartment… but then it turned out that he
\nwas totally just kidding.<\/p>\n
so the train ride wasn’t too crazy, but at one stop, the train hardly stopped at
\nall… it kinda just paused…. but this large family wanted to get off… so
\nthey all just went for it!!! seriously, it was just like in the movies…
\nthey threw the luggage off the slowly moving train one thing at a time and then
\nstarted jumping off one by one… but the train was going faster and faster!!!
\none girl jumped off and hit her feet on the ground so hard, that it flung her
\nover backwards and she smacked her head on the ground. yikes!!<\/p>\n
so anyways, we finally got into fez and went to our hotel. this place only
\ncosts 140 dirham (14$) for a double room… way cheap… and then we saw our
\nrooms. to start, i dont think they wash the sheets betyween customers, our bed
\nsqgged like crazy, and we found the hugest cockroach ever in yan’s room. we’re
\ndefinitely roughing it here!!<\/p>\n
