cheese and biscuits came in handy on the ferry from Algeciras to Ceuta. We were expected to buy lunch, but I didnt want to go down into the hole on that little bucketing ferry. I preferred the blasting wind on top, and picked my way through most of the cheese and half of the plain cookies.

We then walked into downtown to see if there was a hop on hop off bus but Portland doesnt have one. They do h Read on...

Since we cannot go to Stewart Island today, our time has been freed up to do other things so we set off to explore around the area and leave the town and gardens for tomorrow.
Tomorrow there is a running race from the Sandy Point Domain into town so we figure it best to go there today while peace reigns. Our B&B is just off the Sandy Point Road so it was an easy drive straight down the peninsula. Read on...
