Last nights meal was
quite enjoyable, some doing a little better than others. Bren
couldn't finish the chicken brochettes so Terry obliged and there was
more left over chicken than in the whole tagine he had! The kefta
(meat balls) apparently had quite an extended after-effect.........
So today we move on yet
again, this time to Foum Zguid, a small village some 100km east along
a very good two-lane road, basically following a river valley. We
travelled this way last year and were pleased to note that, with one
exception of a destroyed bridge, it had been fully repaired. Very
little evidence of water although there were several oasis' and some
green cultivation. We did, however, cross a ford; the moped rider
nearly fell off when he realised we were coming up behind him and let
us go first. I wouldn't have splashed him, honest!
The village of Foum
Zguid is actually quite small although there has been quite a bit of
development since we were here last, most likely in connection with
the military barracks we passed on the way in. Impressive entrance
arch though.
Camping Kaymer Parc at
first sight looks a bit, well, run down but once inside it is an
absolute delight with the unmarked pitches spread around the
palmerie. Although the facilities are what you would call rustic as
well as basic, everything is kept in tip top condition by two or
three lads, no more than 20 years old who are on the go all day long.
The advance party were just sorting themselves out and we slipped
into an adjacent space next to them. At first it looked like we would
have to do without electric hookup but some rearranging and use of
both our leads solved that problem, although low voltage meant the
fridge struggled and periodically switched back to gas, then
electric, then gas................
Picture tomorrow
This was our favourite
campsite from last year and we're looking forward to renewing our
acquaintance.
