Day 30 – Agadir – third day

We spent last night in the alley just like the previous night however Tina did not have a good night as she did too much walking at the souk during the day. She took more medication than usual and spent all morning and a substantial part of the afternoon in bed. She did feel a little better as the afternoon wore on.

We have had a few jobs finished today. They have fixed our habitation door lock so we can now feel secure. The lock was broken inside and after fitting it back in to the door it would still not work. After much discussion and lots of head scratching they finally reset something electronic and it now works.

They have fitted some brighter lights to my awning light and will be fitting some L.E.D. bulbs tomorrow. They also repaired the large window stay in the bedroom. However we had to move the van this evening as we could not close the window without opening it fully and initially there was not enough room.

They have looked at the oven and intend to bring in a specialist to look at the hob tomorrow. They have also taken our base cushions away to fit some velcro, we think, so that they will not move so easily in the future. The small door to the garage has been straightened out and repaired and painted. It is almost back to how it was before I tried to rip it off at home in Andover.

Mustafa thinks that we should be finished by lunchtime tomorrow… only two days longer than the original estimate. This is Morocco time in action but I am not complaining as the prices are so reasonable compared to the UK.

We were joined today by a further two vans from Taghazout, members of our clan, who are also here now having work done. The 2 vans I came with on Wednesday were completed late today and they are staying on a school car park across the road and leaving tomorrow morning and heading south. We are heading north back to the port and leaving Morocco in a few days.
