Deciding we’d like a bit of a lie-in we refused to get up
when the local baker banged on our door! However once awake, and with the sun
streaming through the skylights, it seemed a waste to lie abed so threw open
the doors and windows (well after making ourselves decent!).
A leisurely breakfast in the sun (sorry all you folks at
home shivering in your kitchens) and we raised the flag, staking our claim to
this bit of territory.

It wasn't long before the first of a steady stream of local
traders appeared selling all sorts of goodies from mats to jars of local honey,
through fish and solar panels! Even a guy offering to do any repairs we might
need. However the one chap we remembered from last year was Rashid, a talented
painter who paints Moroccan scenes onto your van. We’d been sort of tempted
last year but said no, but our three companion crews all wanted one. And of
course eventually we succumbed and had a restrained but beautifully done scene
painted on our back panel. For £35!

After lunch, we settled down to catch a few rays – and of
course over did it, but aftersun will take care of it. We were visited by
several Brits, including a couple we met in Spain who decided to come to
Morocco after chatting with us there. More traders, including one selling live giant
Spanish spider crabs. Not for us!
Then as the sun started to go down we were joined by other Funsters, one who was noted for his guitar and singing, so as it got dark drinks were enjoyed, listening and singing along.

It has to beat looking out of the window at home at the rain
and snow. We do feel for you all, honestly!
