Tuesday 7 March 2017

Really not a lot to report today; noisyish night due to dogs on a smallholding next door to the site who took a long time to shut up last night and had a row sometime through the night. Coupled with the donkeys braying, cows mooing, sheep and goats bleating (we couldn't hear the chickens) it's a bit like camping in a zoo!


People come and people go – site emptied this morning but filled up again tonight so it's obviously more of a stopover place. Very nice though, modern facilities scrupulously clean, snack bar, campers kitchen and at a reasonable price for a change. The architecture is very Middle Eastern and in fact it's all part of what is supposed to be a tourist centre, run as a charity to support orphans, the handicapped and elderly. Haven't noticed much of the latter however. Apparently known as “Disneyland” locally!

Spent the day just messing about and working on our tans. The big gas bottle ran out yesterday so we're now onto our last, which should be enough – looking to cross back to Spain the end of next week. We've got an emergency contingency though.

Plan is to move onto Fez tomorrow and try to visit the medina, which has been recommended to us several times. Then Meknes for something similar, finally finishing off with a run across to the coast via Volubilis, the only Roman ruins in Morocco (which if are as spectacular as the cascades we should be in for a treat.....), to finish off with a few days.


Inshallah!
