It's only 24 miles between Algeciras (in Spain) and Ceuta (also Spanish run but well and truly attached to the African continent) but what a difference a stretch of water makes! Not just in people, language, food and rules of the road, but climate too. It's been chucking it down and over the last two days we've encountered thunder storms, flash floods washing away roads and gale force winds! Our tent has been amazing (thanks Paul) keeping us dry and sheltered through two pretty severe nights.
Anyway, weather looks like it's changing for the better now so we can continue exploring these magnificent towns and cities without our raincoats! Currently in Meknes (Morocco's third Imperial City) enjoying getting lost in the medinas and drinking mint tea in the squares. Above, photos of Chefchaouen, a beautiful hillside town in the Rif Mountains with windy cobbled streets where all the buildings are painted a tranquil white/blue.

Big kisses from all the griffiths. It all looks so wonderful and we are very jealous - especially Luke who would be in HEAVEN in the landrover. I think Emma would miss her duvet!
Ahhhh, Chefchaouen, looks as lovely as ever, hope to see you donning a jellabi in the next pic installment though Jonnie! Sib xxxx
