A day by the sea

Yet another line of washing.Where does it all come from? But  almost dry and not even lunchtime, as temperatures reach 30 in the sun.
We have had quite a culture shock since arriving here. There is a great deal of poverty, squalid living conditions and litter everywhere you look. The facilities on the site, though basic, would never stand a Caravan Club inspection but everyone we have met has been friendly and helpful.
We are using electric hook up in order to save gas, as there is no LPG available in Morocco, which is a big saving for the fridge/freezer but I tried our new little hot plate and killed the electric stone dead. A smiling owner just shrugged his shoulders and trotted off to re set the trip!
French is the second language here, so not being able to speak Arabic, we are quite thankful to be able to practice our classroom French.
Off for another stroll along the shores of the Mediterranean, but being too much of a whimp to do total immersion, I shall paddle and absorb myself in the views of the distant mountains whilst endevouring to tune out the  incredibly loud wailing of the call to prayer coming from the nearby minaret!
