Off to Tarifa.

Have suitcase, will travel!  So it is off to the bus station at one km distance. 


How nice to find a sofa to have coffee on half way there.


I can also recommend Carrefour for a good cafe and loo. On the bus I meet a nice lady from California who cheers me up.   She likes travelling alone and has been on a silent retreat in Portugal.  I would love to do that.  She is on route to Cairo via Tarifa.  Obvious really. 

The journey is quite hair raising after Algeciras.  But stunning. I had forgotten how close Africa is, maybe because last time I was here there was a storm going on and it was nearly thirty years ago. But the views of Morocco, Straits of Gibraltar and our very own rock are beautiful.  It is a pity I cannot get good photos from the bus. Here is the best. 


And then , earlier than expected, I am here, entering by the Puerta de Jerez.
