Travel Day to Algeciras – June 15, 2022

Hello again! We are now on the move to Algeciras which is on the bottom “point” of Spain. Why did I pick this place? Well it is next to Gibraltar which so many months ago I foresaw that Holland America would cancel the cruise stop, so I decided we should stay here so we could go to Gibraltar and hopefully all things being equal, pop down the road to Tarifa in Spain and take the 1 hour ferry (passenger) over to Tangier, Morocco for the day. However, I am getting ahead of myself! As it was a 2 hour straight shot down to Algeciras we spent some time relaxing in the hotel and our suite in the morning and left about 3pm for our afternoon drive on the highway. It was an easy drive! Sorry, no pictures – I was knitting this time! It was pretty well the same thing as I have posted previously – hills and flat land 🙂 It was also VERY nice to go from 40 degrees in Seville down to about 30 degrees when we arrived in Algeciras! The hotel was pretty easy to find and we checked in and received our key for a top floor room – no, not a suite this time but a room that was accessible! I was SO IMPRESSED! It has room in the washroom and a bench in the shower! Wahoo! I do not like how hard the AC Hotel bathtubs are to get in and out of! And they all have the same ones! Anyway, the best part of the room is it’s terrace! It wraps around the corner room so we can sit on the side in the shade or on the front in the sun! It also has those nice chaise lounge chairs…. As Andrew was tired, we opted for a picnic again – I had left overs from my pizza dinner the night before and he had the ham/cheese/cracker option! As we were planning on doing Gibraltar tomorrow we got to bed early that night.
