The cloud cleared
overnight to a bright sunny morning and the temperature soon shot up,
although it was still cool for a while in the shade. Breakfast seemed
to be unusually early for us, until Terry discovered his watch had
stopped – it's happened on each visit to Morocco.
The servicing
facilities are, to say the least, a bit basic but we managed okay,
having kept several used drinking water bottles filled with tap water
to top up the water tank. We'll collar the bowser tomorrow. Our first
gas bottle ran out, rather sooner than we'd hoped so the backup
Spanish bottle was connected up – we'll need to be careful with our
usage. However, it's only the fridge using the gas with the
occasional bit of cooking. Hot water is boiled in the kettle on a gas
ring screwed into a Moroccan “Camping Gaz” bottle – dirt cheap
and available everywhere. In an emergency we can also connect one of
these bottles into the van system although I'm loathe to do so as
it's not the best quality and tends to soot up the jets.
This year we've bought
a proper Camping Gaz 2-burner stove to connect up to the Moroccan
bottle and we did try it out. However we're not over-impressed and
it's a bit of a bind when having to pack everything away at night, so
we'll leave that for the moment.
Yet another Funster,
one of our original group, turned up late in the day so our little
encampment now has 11 vans.
