Maroc 2 Aug/Sept
Maroc 30th - 09th Aug/September
Yest another 4000+mls over another 10 days in a van to Morocco, still no Landy but loving the travelling. 30th Southampton - Newhaven - Dieppe - France Another pleasant drive to Newhaven, arrived in plenty of time for the ferry. After getting off in Dieppe at 1400, I drove down through France until I was tired, pulled over in one of the many splendid service stations, fed, watered and slept. 31st France - Spain A really long driving day, but still loving it, and bar the tolls and refuelling once, stopped only for sleep, food, drink and the toilets, no rush, just enjoying the weather, scenery and driving. I had already brought a Maroc ferry ticket en-route and made Algeciras at 1600, yes, 1200mls in 26hrs! And as luck would have it as I arrived at the port of Algeciras, the 1600 ferry was still there, result, got the ferry and arrived in Tangier-Med late afternoon, through customs and camped in Moulay Bousselham that evening. 1st - 3rd Morocco Awake early, cup of chi, and on my way to Casablanca and Marrakech, delivered my loads and meet some new friends and contacts. Camped in the lovely campsite north of Marrakech, loaded a few items for UK, and back up to Moulay Bousselham for the night. 4th/5th Spain - 6th/7th/8th France Camped at some lovely campsites, near some lovely towns/villages, with pools and great views, a snack, a glass or two and just enjoying life. 9th Dieppe - Southampton Ferry day soon enough, up early and sorted out the van. Showered, croissant and tea and off to Dieppe, where I joined the ferry queue. Yes another trip in a Van, maybe have to become Vanandwine now!? But my love of travel doesn't diminish, only grows, and maybe another trip to Morocco on the cards soon. |
