2 Tours & 2 Countries

This year I'm re-visiting parts of Spain (I was there in 2005) and visiting Morocco for the first time.

Northern Spain with Insight,

and Morocco & Southern Spain with Bunnik

I have been planning on doing Insights “Northern Spain” tour ever since they started it back in 2015. I also regretted not including Morocco, when I toured Spain & Portugal, in 2005, so decided this year I’d visit Morocco, do the Northern Spain tour and also Insights “Normandy, Brittany & the Loire Valley, which has been on my list for many years.

Bunnik have a 20 day tour of Morocco and I almost booked that, but dates weren’t working with the other 2 tours. I then decided that almost 3 weeks in Morocco might be too long there, so looked at their other tours that included Morocco and decided that Morocco & Southern Spain was the same length but only 10 days in Morocco. That plus the fact that it ended in Madrid & the Insight Spain tour started in Madrid, made me drop the France tour off the agenda and made it easier re flights.

I’m flying with Qatar this year. I haven’t flown with them before.  They currently fly in and out of Canberra, via Sydney.  I’m pretty sure the plane departing Canberra will be almost empty but will fill up while we transit in Sydney.
