We headed to the windsurfing mecca of Tarifia which sits on the European side of the Straights of Gibraltar. With Morocco clearly visible only 14km away and the surf in Spain looking non existent, we decided to see if we could get over to Morocco!!
- Space on the ferry, check.
- Insurance coverage, check.
- Enough wax for the surfboards, check.
- International Drivers License..... oh bugger. End of that idea.
With our dreams of Moroccan waves dashed (they lasted for around 4 hours), we headed for THE ROCK!! (not the wrestler, the peoples champion - but a large land mass on the bottom of Spain, looking similar to the peoples champion...).
The excitement held as we waited in the long car que for around 45mins to get over the border. As you drive in to Gibraltar, you have to drive over the airport runway! It certainly was bizarre after being in France, Spain and Portugal to see signs in English, little English post boxes and even a couple of Bobbies on the beat!
We didn't stay long, it was a Sunday and there wasn't much open. So after a quick drive around the rock, we left Gibraltar and headed for the famous Costa Del Sol.
