Along with all but our
solo traveller we decided to stay here at Asilah for another night –
the weather is forecast to be warm and sunny and Jamie has been
cooped up for too long. So a lazy start, Terry going to Maroc Telecom
before breakfast to sort out our internet connection, before tidying
and servicing the van.
There is a huge sandy
beach, just over the road from the campsite back gate, and Jamie knew
it was there. So when we put his lead on and collected his water
bottle and throwball, he couldn't wait to drag us out. He was soon
chasing up and down the beach after the ball whilst we enjoyed a
gentle walk in the glorious warm sunshine, now in shorts and summer
shirts at last!
Eventually we managed
to capture Jamie and drag him back to the campsite where he collapsed
on his favourite seat whilst we cooled down with drinks then lunch.
Later we took him out again, this time for a walk along the promenade
to the town and a mooch around the medina, which we haven't been back
to since our first visit to Morocco 7 years ago. As it was
mid-afternoon none of the shops were open, but we weren't buying
anyway and only had to fend off a couple of street vendors, so it was
nice to explore the brightly painted passages and alleyways.
Returning to the
campsite we passed new huge building works where they are extending
the harbour, with new breakwaters and a new harbour entrance. It will
take a few years to complete but shows how Morocco is pushing
forward. Incidentally everywhere was kept clean and tidy, a big
improvement to our first visit.
A shower then
relaxation until teatime. We've nothing planned but will probably do
some research this evening to decide where we're going to go tomorrow
– unless we stay here another night!
As part of the what we've lovingly nicknamed "Terry's tour" on behalf of myself & my partner Rosie i want to thank both Terry & Brenda for being 2 of the kindest and most helpful people we have ever come across and had the pleasure to travel with, their advise, hints & tips to use have been invaluable and had started long before we hit the road together way back on the dark UK winter nights and thanks to them our dream of heading to Morocco for the winter is now a reality and the both of us are loving it and know we will love it even more as the holiday continues so once again a massive thank you to Terry and Brenda for helping us make it come true
