| Kaouki Beach to Oualidia - 134 miles |
Terry was up during the
night with a developing toothache, attempting to relieve it with
Ibuprofen, and then earlyish again to try paracetomol. It was
obviously a repeat of a previous problem and anti-biotics will be
needed. But we got the remainder of the packing done, breakfast and a
full service before paying the, this time, young lady receptionist
who spoke perfect English. Seems that English is taught in all
schools for 5 years as a “second language” but she had done an
extra two years. French is taught as the main language but Arabic is
apparently learned as part of growing up and not part of formal
education, which seems a bit strange.
We decided to forego
Essaouira but nevertheless called in to Carrefour for some bits and
pieces – as usual two items on the list but we came out with a
trolley full! A fuel refill then on our way, deciding to use the
coastal road to Safi. However we had forgotten that this wasn't very
good, okay for the first half but decidely Moroccan thereafter to
Safi, past the industrial works. Despite it being Friday and their
Holy Day, and so expected to be quiet, we were also plagued with a
series of heavy trucks which were of course next to impossible to
pass so also had to put up with dust and fumes.
Through Safi, refusing
a diversion that TomTom offered us, and we paused for lunch outside
one of the universities on the coastal hill leaving the town to the
north. From there on it was a nice quiet run along the coast to
Oualidia where the guardian parking was quite busy, although there's
always room here and we squeezed into a quiet corner. We'll probably
stay a few days but anti-biotics are becoming a priority as ibuprofen
and paracetomol aren't having much effect on Terry's toothache.
