We all met up at the port of Algeciras at 12:30 and headed to a ticket office to buy our tickets to Morocco. It was 166 Euros for MC, EP and the Land Rover whilst JC got his ticket for 64.50 Euros. We booked for the 16:30 crossing and at 15:00 went to find the departures area. The signs were not the best and "helpful" people kept pointing us in different directions. We finally found the place to queue and waited to board. It was a smooth, one hour crossing to Ceuta;
At the Moroccan border it was chaos. We did not have a clue what was going on. There were vehicles and people everywhere. We were assisted by a couple of English speaking "officials" who gave us the paperwork and showed us where to go for passport stamps and the vehicle import forms. We were asked for the vehicle registration docs and green cards. JC handed over his green card and photocopy of the V5 and was told that both were no good. He explained that it was all he had and it was accepted. MC then handed over the paperwork for the Land Rover and realised that the V5 was in EP's name and she should have completed the paperwork. Showing EP's passport seemed to satisfy the official and we were in too.
With a suggested campsite in the Lonely Planet guidebook a short drive down the coast, we headed for Martil. After searching for an hour we found the campsite and pitched for our first night in Morocco.
