Intermission

Back from the European waterways, ten days of intermission await in Gothenburg until it is time to leave for our second expedition this summer. Following a four-hour flight down to Andalusia on 30 June, Lina and I will visit the red fortress of the Alhambra before taking the boat to Morocco and the great desert.

It will be the first time I travel to Africa and, though I know that Morocco is quite different from the rest of the continent, it is still a door that I have long yearned to unbolt.
