Another easy drive on the A1 we thought, until we somehow ended up in the middle of Rabat. We are getting better at managing the manic drivers although this silly chap mounted the pavement to turn right ahead of me.
. Prior to that, a policeman allowed a man to do a U turn at a set of traffic lights on a busy dual carriageway and a small van almost became the filling in a bus sandwich. Several times we almost lost a layer of paint, but we continue to survive these accidental excursions into cities.

The route today took us across an intensively farmed lowland. We saw sugar cane, bananas growing under plastic, sunflowers and eucalyptus being harvested for its oil. Sorry to sound like a retired Geography teacher but we are eager for you to feel a part of our journey, so we are your eyes.

Soon our destination for today came into view, Moulay Bousselham. It is a huge lagoon, which is part of the Merdja Zerga Nature Reserve where pink flamingos, herons and gannets over- winter.
The sand bar is highly dangerous, as the waves come crashing in over the reefs and onto the beach but it also creates calmer waters in the lagoon
. Tomorrow we plan to go on a tourist boat trip from the small harbour and see the full extent of this delightful sanctuary. We are parked two metres from the water's edge and can hear the water lapping against the low, sea wall. It would appear that we have visitors of the mutton kind. This flock have wandered across the site from a rough pasture beneath the olive trees and seem to have taken a fancy to Sue's washing up bowl. Time for dinner and it's lamb! We didn't let on to the woollies that one of their brethren was in the oven!!
