Hey guys! University is finally over! After loads of exams and loads of tedious coursework
deadlines, I’m finally on holiday – it’s finally time to relax! Anyway, I decided to
go n a holiday straight after my last exam – I went pretty much the day after. I’m
in Tangier, Morocco. That’s because I’ve got family there from my dad’s side. Right
now I’m on my grandma’s roof top. Here’s the city of Tangier. If any of you don’t
know where Morocco or Tangier is, Tangier is the most northern part of Morocco and it’s
pretty much within touching distance of Spain – it’s about a 30 minute ferry ride to
southern Spain and about a 20 or 15 minute boat ride to Gibraltar which is an island.
I thought that I would come here for a 14 day holiday. I’ve only been here for about
5 days and it has been really hot. It’s been at least 30oC plus everyday so it has
been really good. There are two beaches. Over there is the Atlantic Ocean which is one of
the beaches that has really big waves all the time, and over there is the Mediterranean
Sea which, in my opinion, is one of the warmest beaches I’ve been to. They’re both really
good. There are lots of things to do in Tangier. The houses are massive. For example, this
house I’m on now a 3 storey house, plus you have all of the roof and as you can see,
the house there is 4 or 5 storeys. It’s really nice here. It’s quite a modern city
but it has old aspects too like loads of Roman cathedrals and belly dancing and snakes and
you get loads of animals on the streets like horses, donkeys, camels, cows. There are quite
a lot of farms. I really like it here.. That’s one of the great things about university - because
you have a long time, I have 4 and a half months in my case to explore the world, to
travel or relax if you want to. The good thing about going to study in London if you’re
not from England is that you’re within touching distance to all the European countries and
Northern Africa so London is an ideal place to study. I’ve got about 4 months left of
my vacation.
