In Morocco

One uneventful ferry crossing later and we were in exotic Morrocco! We changed a few hundred euros at the port, and set off in to an anticipated nightmare of traffic. Morocco annually records 100, 000 injuries and 4,000 deaths, from road traffic accidents. This was going to be fun!

Through the Port gates, our first sight of Tangier

Now proud owners of a Tom-tom sat nav, we entered the co-ordinates for our first stop. See how we're getting better? I'd learned my lesson from Portugal and pre-purchased the Morocco map, which was safely installed. Actually, we haven't got that much better have we? We haven't even got a road map for the place!

The first leg involved a two hour plus drive to a site, listed in the recently purchased, Camping Morocco, again from Vicarious books. I have to admit that I was a bit disappointed when I received it. Obviously, a lot of work has gone in to putting the guide together but, it hasn't been updated since 2009 which

means that a lot of the information, and prices, are woefully out of date. They still charge £9.99 for the book. At the rate that Morocco is moving in to the 21st century, the book will be a work of fiction in another 10 years.

Almost predictably then, when we arrived at our destination at Mehdia Plage, just south of Kinetra, we found that it had closed down. Great start. Two terrified Brits in Morocco with 2 hours before dark, and our first stop no longer exists.

Calm heads make better decisions so, once we had stopped panicking, we referred back to the book. As luck would have it, the next nearest site was only an hour away. Let's get going and hope that it still exists! I wasn't happy but, there was no choice, we had to go to Kinetra.
