Pip and I are stranded in Tangier!
The ferries were cancelled due to high winds yesterday and so we came back into town to try and get a room at our hotel – but they were fully booked! After looking around a bit we ended up at a rather scary place down by the port (more on that later). It’s still VERY windy out there this morning, but we are off to the ferry station again to see if we can get home today.
Wish us luck!

Sprawled out here on the ferry looking at Gibraltar. Have spent the past three hours vomiting myself inside out. Couldn’t get to Tarifa, must now find a way to get there from Algerciras so we can pick up the car. Had to cancel my oncologist appointment. It’s been quite the adventure. Docking now, gotta go!

… “vomiting myself inside out” Lovely. I read that just before breakfast. 😛

So, I take it the ferry sailed but the crossing was rough. Sorry to hear that. Being seasick is horrible, at least that is what I have heard from people who do suffer from that variety of motion sickness. Thank heavens I don’t.
Hope the rest of the trip was wonderful.

L a.k.a. B sounds like she had it right – a real Moroccan adventure. Seems like you would need a tiny bit of scary or it wouldn’t actually be Morocco. Of course, that could just be my perception …. 🙂 I’m such a romantic!
Sorry you had such a rough ride back! Not too sorry you had to miss the oncologist appt.

Cripes! I seem to have missed the adventure today! Glad to hear you arrived across the sea safe, if not in good spirits.

Hope you’re safe home by now and looking forward to hearing/seeing all about it!
Seasickness on ferries… reminds me of one particular journey home to Ireland from the UK when I was a child. Not pleasant. Poor you.

It was HELL. Not surprising I guess since, as the smaller ferries weren’t allowed to travel, the crossing was bound to be extremely rough. People were being sick all over the place, others spent the whole trip slumped over their tables. The very few people who didn’t seem too badly affected must have been dramamined up to their eyeballs.
Anyhow, we arrived safe and sound (with pocketbooks intact, zoomer 😉 ) in Algeciras. Pip very generously sprung for a taxi to Tarifa, we found the car intact, and got back to Sevilla around nine o’clock.
An adventure indeed. And even the last 24 hours of it didn’t dampen our spirits. We were already laughing about it as soon as we were pulling into the harbour. With anybody else it may well have been a disastrous ending that ruined a wonderful holiday, but Pip is a fabulous travelling companion and somehow we turned the whole debacle into a “the further adventures…” thing, and even had fun with it.
Anyhow, must eat some rice now and RELAX. Had the longest hot shower when I got home and have been snibbling the cats to smithereens. Will deal with photos mañana … far too many to upload tonight, though I’ve been showing them to Nog.
Hasta mañana! 🙂

I think I am a “further adventures of…” sort of person, myself.
You always have to make lemonade out of lemons and, if nothing else, when an adventure goes pear-shaped, it ALWAYS makes for good stories after…

Well, I sure didn’t think when I went to bed on Monday night that I would stay there for 36 hours! But I’m up and feeling a bit better today, though not well enough to go to yoga class. Actually unsure about going out at all as the “dire rear” is still a problem and that could be embarrassing. Still, it’s good to be vertical again. Going to try and finish uploading photos now.
