Day 42 – Merzouga (Penultimate day)

This morning started off slightly overcast… still warm but not excessively hot. During the day the clouds burnt off and the temperatures rose.

During the morning we did very little but sit and chat. Three of our party went and sat around the pool and swam yet again…. very brave as the pool is only heated from the suns warmth.

I attempted to use the sites Wifi to download a few photos but the signal was internittment and our own signal was no better so will have to update the blog when we move on Monday. I also tried again in the afternoon to pickup the commentary of the AFC Bournemouth match but once again it didn’t produce a consistent signal so I gave up.

Tina cooked a chicken we had bought in Tinehir a few days ago. She used the gas burner we had purchased earlier in the trip that uses a 907 bottle. She also cooked some chips which were really good as the heat from this burner is far superior to the hob we have inside on the cooker. Looks like I might be carrying this a little more often.

Drinks this evening whilst we discussed everything you could think off including Politics, the economy, Europe, Immigration etc. Thankfully no blood was spilt nor any bad feelings.

Our washing machine was not taken to the city as the provisions run was done last night. We are promised that it would be taken to the market in the morning, hopefully fixed and bright back late afternoon tomorrow. We will be leaving on Monday so tomorrow is the only time they can have it. Fingers crossed it is fixable …..
