Day 35 – Skoura

Well Tina was much better this morning so we had breakfast and readied the van for the days journey to Skoura. We left shortly after 10am. We travelled through some magnificent scenery. There was extensive work being undertaken to widen the existing road using some heavy machinery. These road improvements were taking place over many kilometres and so the progress was slow.

Around midday we stopped for coffee in a large town called Agdz. Some had coffee, others fresh orange juice and Tina stuck to water. Brian and I fancied a cheese omelette but with some trepidation. My last omelette in Tafroute was mixed and cooked on a plate and we had to scape it off. Soon the offering arrived and low and behold it looked like an omelette but the cheese consisted of a “Laughing Cow” segment placed on top of a plain omelette. Strange we thought but it did seem to work and it tasted good.

Further up the road after climbing through the mountains we stopped and admired the views. It didn’t take long before the kettle was on and we were preparing sandwiches with the bread we purchased earlier in the journey.

We arrived at 15:45pm and we did enjoy the drive. We did remark that there was no way Tina could have endured the journey yesterday whilst she was so ill. When we arrived we were the only vans on the site. Soon 2 further french vans we saw in Zagora pulled in… how strange.

We will have a day of relaxation and I think that some of us may make the 2km walk into the village…. probably not me as I want to make use of the free Wifi to watch the AFC Bournemouth v Arsenal match on Sky in the early afternoon.

As predicted the Laptop HDMI adapter did give up the ghost so I experimented with plugging the hard drive into the USB port of the TV. Voila… it worked. We sat and watched American Ultra which Tina enjoyed much to my amazement. At least this method saves having both the TV and Laptop connected to the 12v electrics when we are not on mains hookup. Success.
