Hui Chin and I took the ferry from Algeciras to Ceuta during our trip around Spain in 2003.

I've been in Ceuta before, in 1978, but this time around I didn't recognise the place.

I had an entirely different picture of Ceuta.

I wonder if they had rebuilt the whole place, while I wasn't watching.

Makes you wonder?
