Went to hospital for dressings to be changed;  picked up the others and set off for Tangier via Tetouan and the rocky hillside above.

Plants in the rock face:  we scrambled up and took photographs.   Some of the images below the panorama.

Cynoglossum creticum

Looked down on Tetouan, took a series of panoramic shots;  which did not gell, but it gives an idea of the size and whiteness of the houses.   Climbed up the cliff for more photographs of plants.

Checked in at our hotel in Tangier;  had an execrable dinner, but the room was comfortable.   Peter tried the local beer:  it cost 30p.
