How far our we from our rendezvous, in both time and space?
You are on the second week of your two-month journey. By taking the detour around the gate where you were asked to pay a toll, you've added four days to your travel. On the small map, you are currently positioned right underneath the word "Giyne" in "Giyne Veldt," about halfway to the edge of the Dreaming Forest.

Ah, you may be correct, I totally blanked there was a tower when we docked.
A number of major cities no longer represent what they were originally named for. The Tower of the Fallen, for example, used to be a monument to sailors and soldiers lost at sea before it became a major trading port and later a large city. For whatever reason, the name was kept.
