Lovely bright clear
morning, warmed up very quickly so we could dispense with pullovers
almost straight away. Three couples have arranged for a taxi to take
them in to Casablanca to see the Grande Mosque; we've offered to look
out for the dog and anyway got a bit of sorting out to do.
So after Full English
Breakfast, which is now a firm fixture in our routine, set to, Bren
organising some washing and Terry trying to sort out the battery
problem. It didn't help that the battery on the tester was dead too,
but got round it. Short answer, without getting bogged down by
detail, he couldn't find anything wrong and both batteries, now they
were fully recharged, performed as they should. Conclusion – we'd
assumed that the solar panel was keeping up with our, admittedly
heavier, use but there simply wasn't enough sunshine. We'll just
carry on for now and monitor but it's no major problem, we can get a
replacement battery almost anywhere.
Having had to empty the
two main storage lockers to get at the batteries at least we were
able to have a sort out and tidy up, giving us a bit more room. Then
it was time for lunch, after which it was very much a potter about
day, including an hour or so of sun-worshipping! Friends returned
from Casablanca after enjoying an excellent, if not unexpensive, trip
enthusing about the friendliness at the mosque, a traditional
Moroccan lunch but then not so enthusiastic about Ricks Bar (from the
film, Casablanca); now very upmarket and a bit snooty for want of a
better word.
We're planning to move
on further south tomorrow to Essaouira, another of our favourite
places.
