Trapped in Tangier

Woke up to RAIN! Must be that the storms they have had in Spain have found their way across to Morocco. We are all wondering what it will be like on the ferry; in fact, Richard and Cheryl decided at one point to stay on for another day but then changed their minds.

We travelled separately from the others and, due to not having looked at the map properly, found ourselves going right in to Tangier. It was a nightmare! The floods were causing havoc on the roads even in the centre of town. At one point, we became stranded over a crossroads with traffic all around, horns hooting and nothing moving at all. We could see plumes of water firing into the air ahead, probably where they were pumping out the drains, so we decided to take a right turn and escape the mayhem and just hope that we could find our way back on to the same road further up. The gods must have been smiling on us because we managed to do exactly that and found ourselves back once more on the road to Ceuta and the ferry crossing.
