Assilah Night eight

Woke this morning knowing we had all morning before we had to make our way down to the port to catch our ferry. However, we were on tender hooks waiting for the document allowing Tucker to travel which we expected before 10am. At that point I chased the Vet to then hear that the government dept had rejected our application. What are we going to do now. The Vet said he was in conversation about issuing us the document so we decided to go and do some shopping at Mercadona for the last few things.

We got back to the van around noon and found the Vet had been successful. What a relief. We now packed the Van ready for travel to the port. Our sailing was 2:30pm. Shortly before we were called forward and got our boarding passes. We had been issued with tickets for the Transmediterranea ferry which was quite an old ship. We were asked to drive up a very steep incline to get loaded on the upper parking deck.

After getting our CID number sorted (ID number) in our passports we sat and chatted to some other brits. One guy from Northern Ireland was on a tour on his own on his 1200cc motorbike. The other couple, Lee & Michelle, decided to follow us to Assilah as this was their first time visiting Morocco.

Next came the ordeal of getting through the Police and customs checks however this time it went really smoothly and we were through in about 30mins. It had taken us up to 3 hours on previous visits.

We arrived at the campsite in Assilah just as it were getting dark. Now to relax and see if Starlink will work in Morocco. No trouble !!!
