Run to the sun….

[Just smiffy]

Neither does he

I may have missed some details. But are you sleeping in your van or a hotel whilst the paintwork is being done???

Staying in the van..

Out of all the places we have been, that come to mind the most, tafraoute, oualidia and Larache were our favourite places, trafraoute because of all the reasons outlined above and it’s just so relaxed, and oualidia due to the buzz around the park up and the fresh fish every day and larache because it was so calm and natural and the park up ideal in front of the harbour entrance. Doesn’t mean we didn’t like anywhere else, just these three stick in our minds the most, but overall I think Tafraoute tops them all

 

[Wanders from Glos]

Progress…

I’m actually quite pleased with what they’ve done so far, quite a lot of attention and detail going into my job. I really did only expect a rubdown and a spray over but no they’re taking their time in doing the prep…

Looks like they are being thorough.

 

[Just smiffy]

It’s on its way…

 

[JockandRita]

Just smiffy, I'm looking forward to seeing the end result Garry.

Cheers,

Jock.

The alcohol 'cave' in Carrefour ( Essaouira) is now closed for a month or so

 

[CaptainPaul]

Quite sure you got in there in time!
According to some sources I've spoken to recently most restaurants and some shops will be open from 12.00 noon until midnight but that's in the big cities & also the King has decreed no sacrifices this year (Eid al-Adha) so no glutton of goat tagine this year! Lol

 

[Just smiffy]

They’ve given it a flash over with primer so now filling the little spots exposed by the primer… I didn’t expect this much preparation… if as much effort goes into the painting then it bodes well…

I like Tafroute too but I miss the sea and the nice humidity it brings, Tafroute can be tough going when it gets really hot,
I love Larache too, if I ever bought a property out here it would be in Larache

Maybe they know your upholstery boy from Atlantica parc & know they could end up owing you money if they f'eck it up!

Smiffy's the shiny whooshbang had a very shiny nose. When it's done you can bid for Rudolph's job.

 

[Just smiffy]

It’s in being done…

 

[rolosroller]

It’s in being done…

A bit like Meghan Markle giving birth

What will it look like

 

[Just smiffy]

I told them if it’s not good then I’m not paying so sharpen your knives..

Really is marvellous how they can spray paint in all that sand.
We do it a closed shed with a concrete floor but still have to put plastic sheets down to stop the dust.

I bet they could do a really good Rapptor finish

 

[The Boofles]

We’ve just landed in Fez too but, we’re out of gas so on the campsite. Rain forecast tomorrow so it might have to be movie night all day long
Thank goodness we stocked up on the important stuff before Ramadan kicks off

It is what it is chaser, I know exactly what I’m paying for, I’m not under any delusions… but they way they are going I think it will be an acceptable job, even for my high standards…

As it happens they have done a rapptor on an old Moho.. it looks horrendous but I didn’t see it before and apparently it’s much better now..

I’ll get a picture later

5 days here.

An excellent camping in Ounagha. A friendly town

A trip to the absolutely enormous Sunday souk at Had Draa.
It's not for the feint hearted. So no offensive pictures.

Had Draa market, Essaouira: one of Morocco's largest markets

Everything you need to know about Had Draa market, Essaouira, including how to get there and what to expect.

Then a wonderful meal with unlimited wine with the Barchettas at the vineyard 5 minutes walk away.

And now patiently waiting for our goat tagine in what seems like the middle of nowhere.

We left the Oliviers campsite last week after a few days but we missed the market unfortunately. Next time though and we did like the look of that vineyard too
Another reason to come back to Morocco

I wasn't knocking it in any way I really am amazed that they can do it, practice I suppose.

I know Chas…. Frankly I’ll be amazed too..

 

[Just smiffy]

Well…. It wasn’t done..

And I’m not sure why, they have the paint because I’ve seen it and they don’t like a van holding up in the garage so they’re doing it tomorrow.. hopefully again

So we are sleeping in the van in the garage tonight..
