[SUGGY]

i run our fridge off the battery via the solar ( 260w ) even in the Uk , as Dazlin says you have to be aware / check the input , i just mounted a switch to bypass the engine relay ,
only use hook up if it is free ,

 

[TerryL]

Just had an email back from Carlos - we're booked onto ferry 10.00 Thursday 15 January

Have had one of the group drop out so if anybody wants their place, let me know.

And here's me thinking "I know I'll go to Morocco for some warm weather" What have I let myself in for?

He does it so that us delicate types, who can't stand it too hot, know where NOT to go

And for everybody else to get insanely jealous

 

[Dazzlin]

Not confirmed but a guy I was talking to a couple of days ago told me the harbour parking in Essouira is no longer.
Signs up forbidding m homes.
Still ok at other end but a bit of a walk for some.
It may alter the plans of those who like to be in the thick of it but as a town we would recommend a visit.

 

[TerryL]

That's a shame. We ran out of time and missed it last time so were kind of planning a stop there "outward". No doubt we'll learn more later.

That's a shame as we were planning to stop there on our way north this year

Stupid question #1 what port are we leaving from?

Found it in page 1 - Algeciras, is that right?

Anyone else on the 3rd jan ferry

 

[dabhand]

Don't know about the weather in Morocco I'm bloody snowed in here!

 

[canopus]

Algeciras to Tanger Med

 

[horshamjack]

Hi Terry
Did you manage to negotiate a price with Carlos ? also was you able to get a deal for the 3 vans leaving on the 8th ?

 

[Armytwowheels]

Algeciras to Tanger Med

Thanks, bumped into Suggy at the Eurotunnel today and he gave me the coordinates to the port.

CIN number

Just sorting out the paperwork and printing off the Police Checkpoint sheets when I realised I've renewed my passport.

Does anyone know if I continue to use the CIN issued last year or must I get a new one on the way into Tanger-Med? I'll carry the old passport with me but is the CIN tied to the passport or the person?

And then when filling out the entry document am I a first-time into Maroc or a returning visitor?

CIN you get a new one with new passport,

 

[TerryL]

CIN you get a new one with new passport,

Excellent, thanks very much. I thought it was probably the case but it doesn't hurt to ask.

 

[Dazzlin]

Just finished re-reading morocco 2014 thread, all 98 pages of it.
It has taken over a week managing to find the time in a hectic schedule!
There is a lot of useful info to be gleaned from the pages for anyone who has the stamina.

I have jotted down quite a few coordinates we may use, taken on board advice and experiences and had more than a few chuckles as I came across posts that also prompted some great memories.

I am looking forward to catching up with the tales of travels this year as I am sure many others are, whether coming over or reading from afar.

re: pre-crossing campsites

Bella Vista finally have come back to me and want €26 per night. I think that's too much, as well as the tightness of some of the pitches we were allocated last year. So I've booked 8 places at Parque Tropical, nr Estepona. €14 with ACSI card, otherwise €16.70 (I'll try and twist their arms when I get there; I'm planning to arrive 10th January) I've also asked for 4 larger pitches for those taking their gin palaces......
