Back home now in ESTEPONA, Spain . It was quite an eventful trip with some ups and downs. Mind you , what you see is what you get in Morocco. It was our fourth visit and won't be our last . All of you, who are still on the road , keep safe. Just opened an ice cold Bud and about to fill one those loungers !

Team Bus-Puss now at Moulay Bousellham after a foggy ride up from Kenitra. Arrived here at midday and it was glorious, but now the sea fret seems to closing in again. Hoping to make it to the Spanish Motorhomers rally for Easter. Inshallah.

Just a bit of information for those wanting to buy a SIM card for a iPad mini in Morocco. I tried in Marjane Meknes Maroc telecom and they looked at me as if I was from another planet. At Marjane Agadir I went to Maroc Telecom and they were packed out so I went next door to Meditel. They were so helpful . they fitted the card and activated it and waited while I confirmed everything was working. I paid 80 dirhams for a week with a 1 gb per day limit. It worked perfectly and I used my iPad as a hot spot for my wife's ipad. I will definitely use them again.

must say ... we are impressed with Gibraltar .

we came back to the parking about 6 pm and then walked the 150 mt to the beach for a swim ,
we going back into Gib tomorrow for some more walkabout ,

i spoke with an English couple parked here tonight in their 40 s just back from Morocco they had 8 weeks there and hated it , and will never go back .......

[PhilandMena]

Still following the river on the Spanish Portuguise boarder. Yesterday we stayed at a place that was having a fish festival. Fantastic day, local river fish and local wine plus free entertainment and free stopover too. Got wrecked on good portuguise wine.

 

[Busman]

Well after another misty day at Moulay Bousselham team Bus-Pus had a meeting and decided we'd take our chances in Spain so here we are parked up for the night a short drive from the port for the ferry in the morning.

It's wild camping Kate, you can see the port in the background.

 

[canopus]

Its wild Kath but there is a Police Checkpoint just in front of us by the little harbour of Ksar el Seghir. It is courteous to just let them know you are spending the night here, which we did. We were asked if we'd like to share their Tagine which was simmering away in the kitchen. We politely declined and instead we ate chicken schwarma at a small restaurant just up the hill, followed by tiramasu (minus the alcholic bit) which was all very nice. Watneys Pigging Red tomorrow in Gib.

Its been a tad short of 3 months and we've enjoyed every minute of Maroc.
Will poodle back up through Spain and France nice and steady.
Hope to be back next year - Inshallah.

[horshamjack]

Safe journey Ken, Lynda and Dave. Great to meet you good people. Same time same place next year
Had a drink in the hotel bar yesterday on the veranda overlooking the city"flag 23dir bottle" weather still clear blue skies and hot so stopping a few more days.

 

[canopus]

We are on the quayside awaiting the arrival of the ship. Its glorious hot sunshine at Tanger Med. We are heading for La Linea de la Conception. Hoping to do Gibraltar as foot passengers and take advantage of their very favourable duty free prices.

Have enjoyed our time Maroc and all the great folks we've met along the way (plus one or two not so great) and we hope to be back next year.

Weather here is hotter than anywhere we have been in Morocco. I see the weather is also good in Southern Spain and the Algarve, Just in time for when we leave Monday.

 

[horshamjack]

Well today a few French pulled in, There is plenty of space, about 40m between me and the next van but your man decides to reverse wheels on my carpet and nearly run over Sam sitting in her chair outside!!! I point to the open expanse and he shrugs his shoulders? In my best Welsh I tell him where to go. it's obviously universal.
and he moves a few metres further along.
But in the same breath the French couple opposite us who have been here a few days asks me to sort out his portable Satellite dish, the instructions are in English, and they were ever so grateful, I'm by no means anti as I was helped by some good French people when my tyre blew down Tan Tan way in the middle of nowhere.
It takes al sorts,

 

[Motörhead Fun]

On a whistle stop tour of Morocco over Easter school hols. Now at Kanz Erremal at Merzouga. Fantastic location.

Not seen another UK van since we arrived. Is anyone still here?

Been back less than a week and we are already planning our next trip for the whole of June. This time to Italy. As we live in Spain ,we are getting the ferry from Barcelona to Civitavecchia and then plan to venture northwards rather towards the bottom end. Any suggestions would be helpful. We've been to Corsica and Sardinia with the m/h but not to mainland ITALY.

Dave
Its been our pleasure having you as a travelling companion and the both of us managing to evade the dodgy weather and dodgy folk up and down Maroc. Now at La Linea and parting company tomorrow we are feeling melancholy. Will be heading off up the road north towards Seville tomorrow and hope to see you again either at Thetford or North Muskham in May. Enjoy Portugal and don't pig out too much on the pork. Asta la vista. Nos ponemos en camino matey.

Hi Paul & Sue
