It was literally freezing when we woke up. Minus 1 degree outside, and only 8 inside Jones. The heating had to go on pronto! We had to wait for proper daylight and dawn is at 8:30 here, so it was well after nine when we made our way along the wadi and back to the…

Leaving Auberge Toukbal took a lot longer than we’d hoped. My fancy “use without unrolling” hose pipe takes a toll on water pressure and so we were left with a trickle to fill Jones’ 150l. We gave up after about 100l. Back into town for a few essentials (bogroll) and a breakfast of a rather…

A bit of a travel day today. We were woken at the Blue Tagines early – not by the call to prayer but by real working people going to real jobs on real busses. Flynn and I met some on our early walk. They were a little confused by my head torch. When we finally…

We left Camping Espirit Nature along the dirt roads we’d walked along the day before. Once we’d rejoined the metalled roads, we drove to a car park on the outskirts of Essaouira. We’ve passed the town twice before without visiting, so thought we really ought to take a look, despite it being very unfriendly to…
