Despite there being no
rush we were up earlyish to a cold but bright sunshiny morning, which
quickly warmed up. We're not planning anything in particular and
after breakfast Terry bought bread for lunch whilst Bren sorted out
some washing – do it while we can! Terry also managed to wash the
van after it got decidedly mucky passing through a flood yesterday.
Coffee with the Copesticks rounded off a relaxing morning.
Quite a few people left
during the morning and, probably due to the vagaries of the campsite
Moroccan electrical system, a couple of the electricity points became
live. Well the tester said they were live but we didn't actually get
anything out of them, probably due to the 50 metre cable run causing
too much voltage drop. Never mind, the solar panel had already
charged up the batteries, so put the cables away again and have
lunch.
The sunshine went a bit
hazy and we heard a weather report saying a weak front was coming
through but we went for a walk up to the village anyway and indeed
the cloud did thicken and lower. Back to a cuppa and it looked quite
threatening so a bit of tidying up, get the washing in and sure
enough it started to rain. But as we write it seems to have cleared
and is getting brighter.
A general discussion
with the two newbie couples as to what to do next; like us they're
looking for warm too but are happy not to rush so that they don't
miss some of the sights. So we're probably going to move on as a
group to a site just south of Casablanca and maybe take a taxi in to
the city, primarily to view the Grande Mosque which we are told is a
must-see. But not until Saturday at least.
Late afternoon the two
younger couples turned up so for now we're all together again.
