The Longest Day
Time to see how long we’re going to stay up. Tonight’s adventure takes us back down to the ferry port where we’ll be taking the overnight bus to Lisbon Sounds easy enough. We’re in position at 7:30pm for our 7:45pm departure along with a few others. 8:00 comes and...
Cross Country Walk
It’s not very often one can claim they’ve walked across an entire country. Even less common to do it in one afternoon. We just did exactly that. All 7.4 km in a couple of hours. Is it Superman?? A very British mailbox. Yesterday we did the rock, today we chose the...
Gibraltar is hollow?
Time to go explore Europe’s Rock. Gibraltar I’ve always have been intrigued by this Overseas British Territory. Just on the edge of Spain, dipping into the Med. Why is it there? Will it be like visiting the UK? The hotel we’re staying at is right next door to the bus...
Hercules? Pigs? Water?
It is our last day in Morocco; Tangier to be exact, and we are excited to see the rest of what this area has to offer and then to venture onto our next country. It was a full day! A big highlight here at the northern tip of Morocco is seeing where the Atlantic Ocean...
A new city, a new vibe

Why so Blue?
There was only one thing on our list of things to do today - drive to Chefchaouen. It is a 250km drive from Rabat and will take us at least 4 hours. Jason and I settle in to the back seat of the Toyota Pathfinder for the drive. I am grateful to have Heated Rivalry...
Hockey in Rabat?
Let’s see what there to do in Rabat. Aziz picks us up this morning with a full schedule for us. First stop is the Mausoleum of Mohamed V and the Hassan Tower. The tower was first started to be built in the 12-century but never finished. About 44m tall today and it was...
Ruined.
It is time to say goodbye to Fes and move on to greener pastures. Quite literally, it felt like we were driving through Ireland it was so green and lush. If I didn’t know any better, this could be Ireland. One of our major stops today was Volubilis to go and see some...
Left or Right?
We don’t have too much planned for today; the only thing scheduled is to be creative with making tiles and pottery. We’re back at the pottery and tile cooperative we visited yesterday. They have us assembling a 4x4 tile with pre-cut tile chips. Once we have our...
