Casablanca

We left the port of Cadiz night before last and traveled to Gibraltar where we spent most of yesterday refueling.
We had traveled to Gibraltar (by bus from Cadiz) and had a wonderful time exploring the top of the Rock. We went up and down the Rock by Cable Car and had a fabulous view. I loved seeing the ships at anchor off of Gibraltar. The monkeys on the Rock are famous (or infamous)--they steal food if they know you have it and they bite. A girl from our ship got a monkey bite. She had to have a tetanus shot--but not rabies, because the monkeys are all vaccinated. The story goes that because of a local saying that when the monkeys leave Gibraltar, the British will leave ( I think) it was Winston Churchill visited Gibraltar and found the monkeys dead and dying of disease. He had the ones left taken to the human hospital in Gibraltar and nursed back to health and then had more apes (everyone calls them monkeys, but they are actually apes) sent over from Africa to replace the ones that died.
Gibraltar has almost a monopoly on supplying fuel to ship because they do it for much less money than any other port. We took on 520,000 tons of petroleum fuel.We left Gibraltar in the evening and woke up this morning pulling into the port of Casablanca.
Time to go explore Casablanca!
