Morocco and Spain- The story so far

As I always say, the worst part about travelling is the travelling ! Katie and I took the train from Marrakech back to Tanger. We had bold plans of going from Tanger to Spain on the same day but that just wasn´t going to happen. The train was hot as hell and kept stopping for half an hour at a time so we all had to get out because it was to stifling inside. I still dont know why it kept stopping but I was ready to kill someone!
On the upside I think Moroccans are probably the nicest people in the world. People kept offering us food and at one point a woman let me hold her baby! When we got off the train (finally!) a boy that we were sitting near said we could stay at his place. As it turns out he lived with his auntie and uncle and their four children, none of whom were the least bit phased by the apperance of two white women with backpacks rocking up at ten at night. They fed us and made up some beds for us, then gave us breakfast the next morning! I love Moroccans!
The next day we got up early to get the boat to Spain. Its a thirty five minute boat ride but the getting there took about hours. First of all customs was a shit-fight which meant we missed our boat. Then we had to wait two hours for another boat. On the other side there was one part of customs for EU and one for non-EU. Katie being half pom just waltzed through the EU side, while me and fifty million Moroccans had to wait forever in the non-EU line. Everyone kept saying to me "Europa" and pointing to the other line but I´d say "no no I´m Australian", and they´d say "Ahhh Australia kangaroo kangaroo!"
We stayed in Tarifia that night where I went out with a girl we met named Natalie and partied a bit to hard. My last memory is of me dancing very badly on the bar. Katie says when I got home I kept trying to hug her. She said she thinks I thought she was a man!
Today we tried to hitch hike to Granada but as it turns out Spain is a shit country for hitch hiking. We managed to get about 100kms in four different cars over about 5 hours! We even put on short skirts to help our chances but all that would happen was men would drive by and beep and whoop but not actually stop! So I guess we are taking the bus from now on.
I was so hungover all day today I vomited in a bush.

Ok thats all for now!

Me in the lake
Katie and I in the camping area
This is me and Willy, a Swedish guy we met on the bus who ended up staying in our tent because he didnt have his own but that was ok with us because he was cute!

Marrakech

Katie and I have left the dance festival and are now in Marrakech. Marrakech is unreal, we are staying near the main square where there are street performers, snake charmers, monkeys and thousand of people. We spent the day weaving our way through the market being dragged into shops. Some of the things for sale are shocking, like real leapod pelts and falcons in cages. I wanted to buy a falcon so I could let it go! I bought a kaftan and I'm running around dressed like an Arab girl in my kaftan and scarf over my head At night it becomes a big food market. Last night we got a bowl of snails I ate one and spat it out it was fucking disgusting I dont know how they can be a delicacy!
We wanted to go to a pub last night but Im not sure where to go to find rocking Marrakech night life. Lots of guys stopped us and invited us to smoke some hashsish with them but we declined!
Morocco is awesome but I think we are here at the wrong time of year, I want to come back in a few months before I go home when it is cooler. Katie and I are heading back to Spain in a few days. Ill be putting up photos in a few days of the festival and Marakech so come back and have a look.

Morocco

Im in Morocco It has been such q mission to get here but we made it I a, camping at a festival on the beach. We met a Swedish guy who didnt have a tent so Kate and I said he could sleep in our tent. He is pretty hot so neither of us mind!
The festival is awesome, the beach we are on is nearly as nice as an Australian beach and its a surf beach which I havent been to in awhile. There is a big outdoor dance floor, food stalls and market stalls; and camels and donkeys on the beach.
After the festival Katie and I are doing a quick whip around ?Morocco then back to Spain for the to,*mato festival

Barcelona

I am in Barcelona at the moment. Just spent an awsome week with my sister in Italy. We stayed with her boyfriends family in a village about an hour from Naples. We were so spoiled I have never eaten so much in all my life! One night Kate, Daniel, Matt Lauren and I wanted a night out (the village night life wasnt really rocking!) so we went to Sorrento for the night. Unfortunatly I drank to much at the camping ground and never made it to the bar, but everyone else had a good night apparently!
I love Barcelona, but it has made me realise how crap I really am at speaking Spanish! I try and say a few things, but then when people talk back to me I have no idea what they are saying! But I think I am picking bits up just being surrounded by the language all the time.
I am supposed to be heading to Morocco for a festival with my friend Katie but her flights keep getting cancelled but hopefully she arrives tonight!
I dont have a camera anymore because I fell into the water getting off the boat in The Valley and I had my bag with me, but I´ll get some photos of Morocco off Katies camera and put them up.
