12 hours to travel 20 miles

Almost a whole day of the return journey taken up waiting to leave Morocco and enter Spain through the ports. In Morocco all vehicles have to go through a giant mobile scanner (without the occupants or pets inside) which means only about 5 can be processed at a time. At peak times this can take about 2 hours. Then the ferry was late, as usual, and then took over an hour to load. It was only about an hour for the crossing then on arrival in Algeciras in Spain it took an hour to unload as I was right at the front bulkhead facing the wrong way. Then Spanish customs took another hour checking all the unloading vehicles. I finally got parked up for the night at 11.40pm, just in time for bed.
