Finally!! away from the hassles!!!

---

So, yesterday, took a long train ride to Tanger, where the port for the ferry to Spain is.

Online, I checked and there were only two trains that go to Tanger, so I decided to take the late afternoon one so I will be there for the night. I thought I had 8 hours to kill in the morning so hanged around and went online....arrived at the train station early to slack...then I found out....THERE ARE TRAINS EVERY HOUR ALMOST!!!!!!! argh...what a waste of my time!!!!!

So then, I took the next train and headed to Tanger. Teh train was HOT at first.......the Air-con didnt work so well. There were many people for the first leg as well. Then halfway...many people got off and then in my part...sat 2 ladies. One from Poland and one English speaking Moroccan! We started talking....very interesting..The Polish one was married to a Moroccan and the other one studied in the US before....they were both so nice. and The chat helped kill the time! haaa.
After almost 6 hours....Finally arrived at Tanger in the evening. There were so little petit taxies!!!! The moroccan women helped me catch one and sent me off to my pension. That freakin taxi driver..I knew he would overcharge......but since my pension is up a hill..he actually walked me there and parked his taxi outside the main road......and then he asked for 40Dh!!!! WTF...........oh well...I had change left and I am ending Morocco tmr..so just shoved it to him so I can rest.
The pension was close to the cheap eats......but Tanger...nothing interesting. I just scrolled around and finally found a roast chicken place that was empty and had good priced menu......so just ate there and watched some Moroccan news...haaa...sth about 911 was on....probably terrorist things again....so boring!!!

haaa..after dinner.....then Zzzzzzz lu....
That pension was right beside the port so it was kind noisy...then at 4am...this big prayer was playing!! HOLY CRAP..it was LOUD!!!! darnit. then the ship sound......noisy morning...didnt sleep that well. Oh Well, got up at 8 and took my time then walked to the Port. The directions were bad.....but I managed to find it and this guy was bugging me to help me buy ferry tickets. That was a cheap company so I went for it ..and of course..that man asked for tips......darnit again. gave him 7 Dh and said..i have no more dirhams on me lu.....and he asked me to take out Euros to give him! of course didnt do it la....haaa.....what..like he doesnt even deserve one euro!

Hopped on the ferry..and guess what. I wanted a ticket to Algeciras in Spain..and that guy actually took me to buy tix to Tarifa!! WTH...Luckily....these two cities arent too far apart and they both had buses to Sevilla, and this ferry ride was half the distance.....so whatever. Got to Tarifa and met this scottish women....we had coffee at the beautiful sidewalk cafe and talked. She taught me how to get to the bus station and we chatted about Morocco and stuff....very nice lady. At the end, she actually treated me the coffee! So nice.

I walked up the bus station and had another 2 hours to kill, so went to this little cafe across the bus station to have lunch...argh...a sandwich+cappuchino cost 5Euros....arrghh....I hate the Euros..........

HAAA....funny thing, I started drinking coffeee!!!! But then, coffee here is cheap and is not bitter!!!! haaaa.....Had two today already....but guess its not too good to my stomache...haaaa

Took the bus to Seville.....aiii.....tickets so expensive.....Already reaching my daily limit after the ferry and bus..
The bus ride was LONG............and at 7......Here!!!! Wah.......I love Europe...many nice buildings......the feel so good....although its tourist attack time coz its during the Fiesta de Abril...or sth like that. I got off the bus station and since its not too far from my hostel..I decided to walk...which...I got lost of course. I just walked according to my memory of the map I saw online!!! haaa.......finally I called for directions and I was actually very close!!! haaaaa...and I am finally here. A very nice hostel...!! Now, I am starving and just in search of FOOOOOOOOD.......^^

Aiii....My camera is already dying..I think sand got in after the desert....DARNIT.......sometimes wont close and sometimes cant focus!!!! ahhh........I hope it will get well soooon....😞

I wish you could have some company from one of us. That should smooth things out for you a bit. Oh well, you had such a nice trip anyway. Take care.
