Oualidia Night forty three

Last night Tucker was attacked by 2 local dogs and has left him traumatised. He doesn’t want to leave the van so we made the decision to move on today to Oualidia. However this time we plan to use a campsite and not the guardian parking as we have done in the past visits.

We found a small town on route so we could obtain some more cash. The recent fine of 400 MAD made a dent in the wallet. The journey was slow for most of the way until we joined the toll road. After coming through the toll booth and approaching the town I was stopped by the police. They showed me a speed camera gun which showed 74kph and they explained that it was my speed coming of the toll road and approaching the booth. This was about half a mile away from where they were. The limit was 60kph. I was fined 150 MAD and given a receipt. I am sure I was conned because I cannot understand how they could have got a reading on the gun from that distance and with objects in the way. I had no choice but to pay up.

We found the campsite we had set as our destination and finally settled on a pitch in the corner. Some of the pitches we were offered were quite muddy. The views are tremendous out of the windscreen and side door.

During the afternoon Tucker hid himself away under the van and we could not coax him out with anything including his favourite treats. It was quite late in the evening before we could get him into the van.

I watched a miserable 1-0 defeat to Everton this evening. It was a poor match and we did not play well. Not a good day!!
