Blog for: January 5, 2010-Traveling

Today, we had to wake up early…*sighs* and leave for Morocco. Dad had parked the car the night before, so we walked to the ferry, which was about five minutes away. Then we bought our tickets for the slow ferry, and got on. All I can say is that it was VERY wavy out on the strait of Gibraltar. Lots of people where throwing up, that made Mom almost through up, and made Emily throw up. After the awful ferry ride that was late by three hours, we got in a taxi and went to the train station, where we learned we had missed the train to Fez by about 10 minutes. So we had some lunch and waited for the next one. We couldn’t even find a plug so we couldn’t go on the computer! We also saw a herd of camels in a mud field since they have had a lot of rain here. When the train arrived, we jumped in our first class seats that were about 60 dollars in total and got part way to Fez.

At the other train station, we had drinks and some Oreo cookies. Then we played Numero and waited. Then we got on the next train and FINALLY got to Fez. Then we got a taxi to our hotel and went to bed.

Hi Josephine,

I'm glad you are getting some good things (oreos) with the bad (throwing-up/delays) on the trip. Poor camels! Who knew the desert would be so rainy. I hope the luxury cabin was worth it.

Love Aunty Jen
