Difference between version 2 and version 1:
At line 5 changed 2 lines.
I was not my usual chipper self today because of my 5:00 AM bedtime. I spent most of the day in the car sleeping while everyone else toured Gibraltar. After the rest of my tourist companions had decided they had seen enough of Gibraltar I was happy to finally go in search of lodging in Algeciras, Spain. The guidebooks did not have many nice things to say about Algeciras but this turns out to be the only reliable way to take a day tour to Morocco. The ferries leave early in the morning and the next closest tourist town is a couple hours away. In actuality the town was like any other small port town, it had its share of seedy guys walking around in the parks and a high number of tourist offices selling ferry tickets. Since we had a car it was easy to drive around a find a nice place. We found the Hostel Blumen (4,000ptas) it was outside of town on the main highway. It would be possible to spend the night in Gibraltar and then drive to Algeciras but it's lodging is very expensive in the rocky British colony. Dinner was a subdued affair in the hotel and they didn't open until 8:00 PM which in Spanish seating is still two hours early. Tomorrow we are heading to Africa via a one-day trip to Tangier, Morocco. It is the reason we are hanging out in a port town which doesn't have too many reasons for tourists to hang out. Things look to be improving because the Port has just opened a modern Ferry terminal that almost makes you feel like you are going to catch an airplane. The town is a little rough and we were somewhat concerned about our luggage and the car. We decided to store our luggage at the luggage office inside the ferry terminal and Scooter locked his laptop to the seat in the car.\\

Our boat to Morocco
Airplane seating
Our group gets our first 30 second speech
Our 30 second camel ride
Can I go home yet?
An entrance to the medina
Hey mister you want to buy this?
A 30 second snake show
It is only a grass snake
Human sewing machine
The hands are moving so fast you can barely see them
Oh great more tourists lets play a song
Feed them quick so they can shop
The market
Hungry for Snails?
How about a chicken?
We have rugs for you
Would you like to buy some spice
