Day 39 – Agadir Plage

Its finally come … the day we have to start to make our way home. We made the van ready for travel and left the site at around 10:30 am. We said our good byes to the friends we have met over the last few weeks and had some wonderful laughs. It was sad but we are now ready to go. The sun was shining and once again starting to raise the temperatures.

We travelled north through the mountains on a scenic route which was made up of two halves. The first was twisting up and down the mountains on single track tarmac road with compacted gravel sides. Our progress was steady and the scenary breathtaking. We stopped once to let a few children have some sweets. Tina decided to give them the rest of the tin of heroes which was almost half a tin. Not satisfied they asked for pencils which she duly obliged. I am sure they thought that all their christmases had come together.

The second half of the journey was on the plain where the roads were wider and faster to travel. We stopped in a large town and purchased some bananas and strawberries. It is so nice to have fresh strawberries in Winter. We pushed on and arrived at Agadir around 1:30 pm.

We could have pushed on to reach our final destination but we hadn’t had lunch and the journey was at least 3 hours so we made the decision to stay in Agadir. I looked for some guardien parking near the beach and we stumbled upon the sport which by a hotel and only 50m from the promenade.

Later in the afternoon we strolled the promenade with the dogs. Many locals were out as well as it was Sunday and their day off. There were one or two brave souls swimming but lots of activity on the beach.

Tomorrow we will push on to Essaouira
