It's Sunday and the last port day, we are in Tangier and are taking the shuttle bus to a park near the Medina for a few hours 'souking' and a few hours chilling around the boat later in the afternoon sun. We were dropped by the the Grande Socco (main square) just outside the Medina (old town) where it was very busy. There were a lot of young football supporters literally hanging out of cars, we counted 8 in one car, going to a football stadium or sports bars. Morocco hosted the Africa cup of Nations a few weeks ago so there is still football buzz in the town.
We wandered around in the medina and souk for a while without buying anything this time. It was interesting to see a union jack flying high above St Andrews church near the square and I had a coffee at a very modern coffee bar. We took the shuttle back to the ship by which time it had clouded over and the promised sun did not materialise on our balcony.
