Day 49 – Asilah

We woke as usual and breakfasted and it was soon time to say farewell to our travelling companions who were going to make their way to the coast. They have some time left in Morocco before they will depart the country. We said goodbye around 10am after making discussing some ideas on when and where we will meet again later in March in the UK.

Soon we were servicing the van and departing ourselves. It was around 10:15am when we were on the road. First stop was for some fuel and then travel north west towards Asilah. Nothing eventful happened and we kept a good speed so we arrived in Asilah around 1:30pm.

There was no guardian to greet us and we were the only van on the parking area until one other turned up late in the afternoon. We have not been asked for the fee but maybe it will happen tomorrow.

The internet speed here is excellent so I was able to update the blog and the photos were added to Dropbox. It also enabled me to watch the AFC Bournemouth match which was live on BBC 1. They were playing Everton in the FA Cup. Unfortunately the score line was not favourable 2-0 to Everton.

We still had around 8GB of data allowance so we decided to continue to watch “The Voice” which had been running for several weeks. It seemed strange to catch up with some news and also watch some UK TV.

Our plans have continued to change and we are now going to make for the port in the morning and cross if we can. The weather is similar both in Spain and here so seems little reason not to go. So iy will be farewell Morocco tomorrow …
