Day 459 22nd October
Barcelona to Tangier
I got up at 8 and had tea with free hot water from the bar and watched the sunrise. Brekkie of bread and cheese on deck was followed by reading my book and sunbathing, before lunch of a bottle of wine and my leftover sausage and mash cooked in the microwave in the restaurant. I bought a bottle of whiskey in duty free and spent a couple of hours in the bar watching tv.

Sunbathing with a glass of wine on board the ferry to Tangier
The ferry is waiting in Barcelona for passengers to get on board. It’s all very Spanish and I’m not sure we’ll be leaving for a while. This journey is bound to take more than 48 hours, as we set off 1 and a half hours late, but I’ve brought my own food and drink and am enjoying a glass of vino in my shorts while everyone around me is wearing coats! The sun is shining and all is well in the world but it’s a slow slow process. I can’t wait to get back under my own steam back on the bike!!
