Although we spent most of yesterday and last night on the marina in Barbate N36.18397, W05.93551<\/a>, we didn\u2019t do a post as we normally would. We spend the day washing and drying cloths as well as cleaning this and that. Didn\u2019t seem much point doing a post all about nothing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some heavy rain and storms are causing havoc is central Spain, this extends down to within 100 kms of Barbate and Gibraltar. It was windy overnight and a little cooler than usual. We have our usual coffee and fruit in the morning before walking into Barbate. The beach is long and sandy here, but a bit wind blown today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Returning we ready the Hymer and set the GPS for the English enclave of Gibralta. We have set aside two weeks for Morocco, but issues with insurance have given us all sorts of dramas. We hope to sort that today one way or another.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Its very windy as we drive south, by the number of wind turbines it\u2019s obviously a wind area.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

We drive firstly to Algeciras, our aim to purchase ferry tickets and check on the availability of insurance for Morocco. Blogger friends Jenny and Ewout from Adelaide recommended Carlos. An hour later we have our tickets and the information we need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then we re-fill our LPG system as there is no pump-in LPG in Morocco and fill with enough diesel to get us going on the African side. Bit scary when you say it but Pam has her heart set on riding a camel across the Western Sahara. Then we drive around the bay to Gibraltar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
