I remember being in a hotel in Tunisia,a couple we talked to were just about to fly home and return the following day to reset the duration of their stay

 

[canopus]

It seems to be to buy more time in Morocco, I think like we were before brexshit you can stay 6 months if you leave and reenter in the middle . it wasn't clear but that seems to be the idea, another couple I met a week or so back had done the same.

They also buy tobacco In tenerife as you can't get it here.

€20 flight from agadir to tenerife

How long is their vehicle allowed to stay in Maroc? When we were last there, you could use a registered camp site as your temporary address, in order to extend your visas. A flight to the Canaries does sound good though, especially at €20.

Tam - Re the flying out bit - Things might have changed since we were there (2013), but I seem to remember that you had your vehicle details stamped in your passport and you cannot leave the country without the vehicle unless it was secured in a customs compound (?)

I'm not sure , the German couple who said they had done it said the vehicle import lasted 6 months but I don't know.

Also I think its sad Tam that no matter where you go and where you stop there are always stray dogs .

Silvia

Yes every single stop has stray dogs , there really is no escaping them . Fortunately I'd say 90% of them are reasonably healthy for strays , only a minority are injured . I think most have fleas . I have met very few who aren't friendly though and most are great with my dogs too which is brilliant as I was worried about them being attacked.

Sadly you do just get used to seeing them eventually, it was hard at first but it gers easier and now I just enjoy feeding them and giving them some affection , many come on our walks which is always a laugh when I pass people .

So I've just been to another massive scrapyard , I was immediately approached by amil, a very friendly young lad who unfortunately couldn't speak english but regardless he led me through a maze of sheds for around an hour till we finally found one of the parts I needed for the old merc , a front indicator lense , then came the 25 minute bartering session during which time they washed the part , kept showing me the genuine mercedes stamp lol and started the bidding at 300dh ...I told him crazy price ...no chance , I offered 100dh ...he spat on the ground and marched off lol ... he then said 250dh ...again I said no 100dh

Off he went again so amil and I started the walk back to the van ...of course I had to pay amil something too so as the guy with the part followed us at a distance all the way back to the van I gave him 150dh final price, he wasn't happy but took it . Amil then asked for 50dh lol ...I said no silly boy ...I handed him 20dh he looked disgusted ... I gave him another 12dh and that was that

So in total 182dh ... around £15

It's not perfect but better than the broken one on my van

There were other parts I need but by then I was exhausted...its too much work buying anything in Morocco lol.

 

[Northernraider]

Pics of the day. I had my first run in with corrupt police , they tried to fine me 150dh for parking outside the medina. Walked of with my passport, licence, insurance and v5 for ages. Kept asking me for 150dh I refused and he said we have to go to police station so I said OK let's go , no sign saying not to park and other people parked here etc , after keeping me for 25 minutes they gave up and let me go.

Bought another hoodie in the medina and an ob1 canobi robe

I've no photos of the robe yet ,

 

[Grianan]

Yes basically the whole cow for sale , this is the biggest medina I've ever seen , absolutely massive inside .

My new ob1 canobe robe

I only took Martin and Allan in to get them jelabas and I got the hard sell for a robe lol ... he wanted 600dh

In the end I gave him 200dh , its actually very comfortable and warm when sat outside. We've been sat out tonight having a few beers with the 2 geordie girls , and a local guy kamil ( no humps ) who speaks very good English and German.

We are going back to tagazhout tomorrow for 1 night as Martin and Teresa need the vet here in agadir but not open till Monday.

 

[Reallyretired]

Not sure about kenobi. I think you look more like Ghandi, perhaps the diet has gone a bit far.

I was wondering what infection he has but didn't like to ask.

The poor bloke behind him seems to have some empathy as he's in tears.

 

[Dutch 68]

As caravans go, this is very cool, would look nice on your mums drive Tam

I'm trying lol but not so easy with new foods to try

 

[Onemanandhisdog]

The pups are tiny when you see them next to something for reference, I thought they looked quite big in earlier pics, not so now, they must be really young.

Yes they're only 8 weeks old going by their teeth

[Langtoftlad]

Is Morocco happy for their stray dogs/puppies to be 'adopted' and be removed?

I'm sure they don't care, one way or another but you can never be sure with bureaucrats
