We had an early tour this morning, so after room service breakfast, we headed out to the buses. We first drove from the old part of the city near the port to the newer city. We went under a Roman Aqueduct. I forget how old he said it was, but it dates from ancient...
Cadiz is on an island off the coast of Spain. It is connected to the mainland by a marshy isthmus and 2 bridges. Our tour first took us through the old walled city, then a bit of the newer section before we headed out of town. We went to the town of...
Sorry I didn’t post last night. I had problems getting online, then photos took forever to upload. So here is yesterday’s activity in Tangier, Morocco. We boarded a bus for a ride through the city. We went by several sites then stopped at the Casbah, or old city. We went through...
