Some rain during the
night – no different to the last 2 years there – but dry enough
to take Jamie onto the beach for a run round. Although it remained
cloudy for most of the day, it stayed dry and warm.
Terry returned to Maroc
Telecom to sort out the internet whilst Bren cleared up. Meanwhile 4
of our group set off, one of them being the slowest, leaving 2 of us
to catch up and leaving one van to stay over by themselves. But we'll
meet up again soon.
Wanting to get south as
quickly as possible we resorted to the motorway again. This does make
it much faster but you do miss out on the character of the
countryside you're passing through. Briefly catching the others at
Kenitra services, we then battled our way round the Rabat ring road
which is (still) undergoing extensive works. No doubt one day it'll
be finished!
Our destination was a
campsite just south of Casablanca at Dar Bouazzah, where we've
stopped on both previous trips. Our route took us through the
outskirts of Casablanca and reaffirmed our earlier opinion that the
place is a bit of a dump. No doubt there are nice spots but it's not
for us.
Arriving only a few
minutes after the others we found the campsite again improved from
our previous visit, although “improved” is a relative term;
they've still a way to go to reach European standards. Still, it was
perfectly adequate and the staff friendly so our little band, who
were the only residents that night, settled in and celebrated the
first of our “beer-o'-clock” sessions – but mainly in tea!
