Day 59 Assilah
Moving day has arrived today. We left site at around 11am and I noticed I had a quarter of a tank of fuel so filling up was needed.
On our way out of town I pulled into a filling station and whilst the tank was being filled a truck came and parked across my exit leaving me a narrow path to get out of the station. I drove slowly through the gap but didn’t realise there was a low level guard made of steel pipe protecting the pump and I ended up hitting this guard doing the damage in the photo. I should have asked the lorry driver to move or get one of the attendants to see me through the gap…. hindsight is a wonderful thing.
The damage doesn’t stop us driving and we will get it fixed back in the UK where will can allow the paint shop time to make the repairs.
We spent the next 3 hours on the toll road driving north getting ever closer to Tangier Med and the port to exit Morocco. We are now camped on the same site we used at the start of our Morocco trip. Our daughter made a video call and we were able to talk to some of the grandchildren. They wanted to know when we would be home.
The weather has definitely changed since driving north. It is cooler and we had a shower which we haven’t experienced for many weeks.
