We've made it !

Yes, we are finally here in Morocco.The ferry across the Straits enabled us to get terrific views of the rugged, mountainous coastline of North Africa as Morocco grew ever larger before us. The paper work to import a vehicle temporarily, took for ever. There was much arm waving by men in uniform .... police, customs and port authority, until we finally cleared the last hurdle and were waved on with a " you are free to leave, enjoy your travels"
So here we are parked up at Camping Alboustane in the resort town of Martil, with temperatures hovering around 28*C, accompanied by a gentle breeze from the sea.
The journey here gave us our first experience of driving on Moroccan roads where one has to be very vigilant  as people stand in the central reservations on motorways, leap into the road in front of you, herd their excitable goats along the hard shoulder and after all of that, the pot holes in the roads are the size of black holes in places. We had a heart thumping experience when the road that we were on around the town, came to an abrupt end, followed by a twenty foot drop to the road below. No barrier, no warning...nothing. Phew, shades of things to come eh!
Important warning folks. Please don't text or phone because the cost is astronomical. We will do our best to post as often as possible until we get back to France.


Herding cattle on the motorway!

We climbed up form the coast, through the clouds, and these weren't even the Atlas mountains.
