Morocco - Rabat
An early start (took Mikey a week to get over getting up in the dark) found us battling the confusion and insanity of a bustling ferry port packed with wobbly boxes, over laden cars, lorries and some serious 4 wheel drive stuff. Still it was a gentle lead up to what was to come on the other side, but more of that later....................
Dawn came up, she was a nice girl, that's her in the middle of the picture!
We admired the ingenuity of the passenger who had a van packed on a lorry on the back of a bigger lorry, way to save on fares or what?
Once on board the bikes were eventually secured where space permitted.
With the number of wobbly boxes on board space was limited
and Gert had his bike squeezed in beside a lorry. Luckily his extra tyres provided some protection.
Upstairs we started on the paperwork for immigration
before staring out at Africa
posing for pictures at the back of the ferry,
while one of us tried to work out which way to hold their camera

Soon we could see Tangiers and headed down to disembark
Soon many of us would have our first experience of Moroccan immigration procedures first hand rather than just reading about it on here. Well it could'nt be that complicated could it?
