Fantastically Fez

Fantastically Fez

by Calvin Sun | Jan 1, 2012 | December 2011: Spain, Gibraltar, Morocco, Portugal, Fit for Foodies, How Did You Do That?, Morocco, What Dreams May Come

Yiru like heads.   We ended up fixing our mistake and putting ourselves back on track. From Kenitra, we got on the 6:35am train heading to Fez, and got off 2 hours later at 8:30am.   Fez train station   That was when Lonely Planet fails us again. It said that there...
The Ferry Crossing From Spain To Morocco

The Ferry Crossing From Spain To Morocco

by Calvin Sun | Dec 31, 2011 | Blitzkrieg!!!, Border Crossing, December 2011: Spain, Gibraltar, Morocco, Portugal, How Did You Do That?, Lessons Learned, Morocco, Spain

  A few minutes after crossing back in and out of Gibraltar, we took a relatively cheap (2.15 euros) 30min bus ride from La Linea de Concepcion (Spain’s border town by Gibraltar) to the Spanish port town of Algeciras.   There’s really nothing much to see...
Missed Connections: Kenitra

Missed Connections: Kenitra

by Calvin Sun | Dec 29, 2011 | Crisis, December 2011: Spain, Gibraltar, Morocco, Portugal, Fail, How's the weather?, Lessons Learned, Morocco, Public Transportation

The good news is that we accomplished the challenge of making it to 3 countries/sovereignties in a single day. We got in and out of Gibraltar and got to see the Rock, we made it to the Algeciras ferry to Morocco, and we caught the 9:35pm train to Fez 5 minutes before...
Welcome To The Rock: Gibraltar

Welcome To The Rock: Gibraltar

by Calvin Sun | Dec 29, 2011 | December 2011: Spain, Gibraltar, Morocco, Portugal, Gibraltar, How Did You Do That?, Spain

  Gibraltar. It’s a symbol of arbitrary lines. A country within a country. The U.K. owned Gibraltar lies in a small sliver of southern Spain where for a moment, you can hop over to a different country and back by simply walking over some line and flashing a...
The Drive from Seville to Gibraltar

The Drive from Seville to Gibraltar

by Calvin Sun | Dec 29, 2011 | Blitzkrieg!!!, Border Crossing, December 2011: Spain, Gibraltar, Morocco, Portugal, Gibraltar, How Did You Do That?

The challenge: 6 cities and 3 countries in 20 hours. Leave Sevilla in the morning, arrive at the La Linea/Gibraltar border by 12pm, spend 3-4 hours in Gibraltar, take a bus to Algeciras, catch the 6pm ferry to Tangiers, Morocco, catch the 9pm overnight train to Fez....
Holy Flying Buttress, Batman!

Holy Flying Buttress, Batman!

by Go Yang Park | Dec 29, 2011 | December 2011: Spain, Gibraltar, Morocco, Portugal, Doctor in the House, Lessons Learned, Post-travel Reflections, Spain

  See that guy lurking in the corner? That’s my illness…following me to Sevilla.     I got sick Night 1 in Barcelona from sleeping with wet hair*, and then proceeded to beast my way through a freezing but unfortunately (or fortunately? can’t decide),...
Sexy Seville

Sexy Seville

by Calvin Sun | Dec 29, 2011 | December 2011: Spain, Gibraltar, Morocco, Portugal, Spain, Walking Tours, What Dreams May Come

  Can’t write much today because we’re about to get picked up by a car to Gibraltar in about 2 min…but pictures do enough justice of being worth thousands of words, right? Why are you so pretty Seville?   Picking fruit and eating it, the old school...
