Still here on agadir camping, whilst swmbo is back in the Uk. I think I’m the only GB van here.....and a lady was cleaning the toilet block this morning ...wow, wow wow....but she has a thankless job. I’ll be driving to Marrakech le relais, on Thursday to meet her at the airport on Friday morning.
Lovely little fishing village
Be ok for a while

We were up in tarfrout a week ago, and had great weather, until the morning we left and we had frost. It was zero degrees on the drive back to agadir. But in glorious sunshine a magical drive

Looking all the photographs of Morocco do not see MH with awning out Were thinking of stopping for two weeks in one campsite is there a reason for not using one I know if you're travelling around Morocco you wouldn't use one. perhaps one of the old hands that travelling in Morocco could enlighten us thanks

There's no real reason not to use your awning - the problem is on some Moroccan "proper" campsites, especially the more popular ones, you don't have enough room.
We certainly used our awning on most of the campsites we stayed at, but then we stay away from the popular ones, don't like crowds. The only reason not to was the wind, which at times can be very strong.
Elsewhere - e.g. guardian sites - it's just a matter of how much room you've got. Probably wouldn't if wild camping though.

Landed in Tanger today at 10.45.
Away from police/customs by 11.05.
Is this a record?
.......made up for it in Assilah.
Took 55 mins to top up a maroc telecom data-sim card at the maroc telecom shop.
After waiting 2 hours for it to open after lunch.
Lunch is 13.30 - 14.30 mon - thurs.
Today is friday. 11.45 - 14.30!
Guess who got to the shop about midday? On friday...
Anyway. Explained to the bloke that I last used it in 2016.
Asked if I could just top it up, or would I need a new one? Bearing in mind I only speak idiot french and the bloke speaks proper french.
He tried to top it up - no joy.
He told me to ask for an internet sim at the kiosk over the road, in gestures.
I went over the road and asked the nice lady - who told me to try the maroc telecom shop!
I went back and the bloke tried again - so did the security guy.
No joy, so the bloke asks the security guy to give the house phone that won't top up my card to the salesman.
I explain all the above to the salesman. The salesman tells me, in english, that he will try to top up my card and if that does not work he will sort a new card. Bingo.
He did it.
I am now just showing off on the internet.
Gloat gloat.
I did a lot of 'shukran' and 'merci's' as I left the shop!

Currently on a site called Camping Bakanou, Tifnite (Not Tiznit) but not far away. A very remote location, mostly French people, but site has all the facilties. For the last two nights have been parked on Gaurdian Parking in Essaouira 60Mdh per night, grey water and cassette manhole. Location was a 20/25 minute walk to the town (reasonable), we thought was very pleasant and interesting had lunch out swmbo birthday. Don't order salad (to share) with Tagine each, far to much food, but all very enjoyable. Thinking of making our was down to Tafraoute on Monday, any particular place to make for? Or will we just come upon lots of Brit motorhomes, hope so.
Market day on Wednesday in tafrout, only a 5 minute walk from the wild camping, see my previous post about the site. We didn't realise that the wild camping also had a night 'guardian' camper contact 20981. It's now 15dh a night !!!
You will find them scattered about the oasis, near the university building.
