A Day in Morocco

Shopping for me in Morocco is always a little different,partly because it always becomes or is business.As I do all my buying for Shop Morocco personally.And partly it gives me chance to spend some time with a great friend Mohammed.
The day always starts with a ferry trip depending whether I go by car or not dictates from where I sail.
I live in Tarifa Spain on the other side of the straits of Gibraltar.If I go by foot a take a ferry from Tarifa, unfortunately this is getting more and more expensive.So when I go by car I sail from the Spanish port of Algeciras which is aprox 25km along the coast.This ferry is a lot more economical by car.The ferry sails to Ceuta which is a Spanish colony I the cross the frontier to Morocco and drive along the coast for 75km to Tangiers.I always enjoy this drive which normally takes an hour,arriving early morning at Mohammeds house on the outskirts of Tangiers.
Breakfast is next relax a little then we go into Town I usually have a list of requested item (things I don't normally have in the shop, but acquire on request.).This normally takes up the morning.

Time to relax and take lunch probably followed by a short siesta. We normally lunch in one of the local cafes and restaurants,or on occasions return to Mohammeds for what can only be described as a feast.Moroccan cooking is the best and Mohammed is one of the best at it.First opinions of Tangiers to many, is chaos people coming and going from all directions.But the real Tangiers is really quite a relaxed and chilled out place.Although most of my trips are buying generated I always seem to find time to chill out a little.
The afternoon is usually taken up buying new stock and drinking several glasses of Moroccan tea.Early evening we return to the house of Mohammed only to be confronted with another fantastic feast.Normally on the patio overlooking Tangiers.

Dinner is followed by many deep conversations sometimes taking us into the early hours of the morning.
Early rise the following day,catch the ferry back into the real world.
