Take the Slow Boat to Morocco

April 9, 2008 at 9:00 AM | by | Comment (1)

Exotic Morocco is one of those countries we always want to know more about. Romantic and spicy, remote yet not that difficult to get to and holiday mecca for plenty of European travelers--we want to go.

And now we know the best way to get there: by ferry from Spain. The UK Times tells us you can get there in as fast as half an hour, but to savor the experience more, they recommend taking an older ferry to travel from Algeciras, Spain to Tangier, Morocco. It takes about two and a half hours.

Our tip is to buy a Moroccan beer on board, sit back and relax while Morocco slides into view. You'll skip all the hassles of lost baggage and flight delays that the average budget flight can bring and even if you don't find meaning in Morocco, you'll have a romantic start to your exploration of northern Africa.

Morocco...

I lived there for a few years as a child. It's every bit as exotic as it sounds IF you know where to go and who to go with. Otherwise it has a dark underbelly that makes NY City look like Ghandi's meditation garden. In other words, stay on the yellow brick road, Dorothy.

PS - The food there, however is INCREDIBLE.
