Our days took on a bit
of a pattern. Not up too early as the sun didn't come over the rim
until around 9.00 but then the temperature climbed quickly. We had
orientated the van to take advantage of all day sunshine but had to
add additional screening by deploying our windblockers so that we
could enjoy the sunshine without getting burned!
Afterwards it was a mix
of doing light chores and hobbies plus frequent chats with other
Funsters going to and from the town. Occasionally we visited the town
too for essential shopping and a few times to enjoy meals out too.
We've eaten out a lot more on this trip than ever before but it's so
cheap and so good it's not worth cooking ourselves.
Most days the wind
freshened up at around 4.00 pm, necessitating taking in the awning,
despite extra tie-downs. Several times there were Funster
“beer-o-clock” get-togethers, and we hosted one on our last day
at Tafraoute, inviting the first non Funster Brits we've seen in
Morocco to join in. On that occasion we also met a couple of Kiwis
(New Zealand) on a very extended tour of Europe and beyond – they
were already 21 months into their trip with no plans to return home!

However all good things
come to an end and we started getting itchy feet, not for the want of
seeing something else but just to move on. So after our beer-o-clock
we packed everything away, ready for a reasonable start in the
morning. When we first came to Morocco we said this was probably our
last time, however we've enjoyed it so much so far that that decision
may be looked at carefully!
