My trip was fabulous. Some parts were fascinating, some parts were a little scary, most parts were tremendous fun. Gibraltar is the most touristy place I’ve ever seen, but the Rock is spectacular, and simply crying out to be gummy-beared, which will require another trip there at some point in the right company :o) Morocco was wonderfully exotic, with so much to see and do and experience that I’m definitely going back there someday too; intense to the point of being overwhelming, though, so I think five days was enough for a first visit! I acquired a plethora of souvenirs, a few words of Arabic, and a taste for sweet mint tea; alas, the day I got back I discovered I’d also acquired a particularly nasty tummy bug, which put me in hospital for a night and in bed for almost a week. But at least it hadn’t started till I got home, so it didn’t spoil the trip.

So how’s everyone here been?
