How crazy has travel become?
I had planned on getting to Portugal by land and sea, taking buses all the way to the north of Morocco, followed by a ferry acros the Strait of Gibraltar, followed by a slew of buses and trains to get to Portugal. All this, colorful as it might have sounded on the blog, would have been a huge pain in the ass, and would have involved all sorts of uncomfortable and seemingly endless rides in rickety, dangerous transport.
Instead, with a bit of research, I have found flights from Marrakech to Madrid and then from Madrid to Lisbon. All this with a total price of around eighty-five euros. It would have cost me more to go by train and bus (the train alone from Madrid to Lisbon costs at least forty-five euros, seventy-five euros with a bed, the ferry is around thirty-five euros).
Truly amazing.
