February 16 - Algeciras to Tangers - Day 2


This morning we took a ferry from Tarifa to visit Tangers. It was a very interesting experience seeing a very different culture from what we are used to seeing. The streets are very narrow and crooked, so we had to stay close to our guides. At times, some of the locals would try to point us in the wrong direction to separate us from our group. Not sure what would have happened followed their direction.

Most homes do not have a stove, so they make their bread and dishes at home and bring them to bakeries to be cooked. The baker will make depressions in the bread sough with his fingers using a different pattern for each customer so that they know what bread belongs to who after it is cooked.

We got a chance to get on a camel which is an experience in itself. Totally different than getting on a horse. We were on the camel for about 2 minutes, just long enough for a photo op.

At the end of the afternoon, we returned by ferry to Tarifa and then drove to our hotel in Algeciras.
