Our ferry was scheduled to leave Melilla today around 2:00 pm. So this morning we visited the fortress of Melilla and the museums inside the fortress. The museum about all the civilizations and cultures that have lived in the Melilla region was excellent. We learned about the Phoenicians, Mauritanians, Amazigh (Berber), Rushdie, Roman, and Roma (Gypsy).
At noon we went back to the Parador, checked out and walked to the Ferry terminal. We waited a bit and the walked along a very long ramp to our boat
We had a cabin for the 6 hour ride. It just had bunks, no seats, so we took turns resting in the cabin, and sitting in the lounge. We also played a lot of cards in the cafeteria.
When we got to Almeria we walked to our hotel then went to the restaurant, Las Botas, recommended by the front desk clerk. It was excellent.
