Hi all
Arrived in Morocco tonight on my 2014 trip just over 48 hours from leaving Portsmouth[emoji2]
Brittany Ferries were their normal stuck up selves. The noticed my new frontrunner rack and charged me another £36. But for a French business how they justify not changing the menu in 4 years is astonishing.
Only other overlanders on the ferry was a group of green ovals. Followed them for half an hour when we arrived in Spain before the dived into a service area...... Probably needed a new engine by then.
Knocked out a good bit of the journey last night covering 550km from docking to finding a hotel for the night.
Today was therefore fairly easy arrived at Carlos the ticket mans at 15:00 got some tickets and the obligatory free cake and wine but this year was as much as last year with two of us [emoji19]
Caught the 5pm ferry over to Tanger Med which was only 15 minutes late leaving. A smooth crossing later I was Morocco and flew through customs. Only downside is the insurance booth was closed so I staying at Hotel dreamland (great name!) just down the road so I can get some cover tomorrow.
Whilst at the ticket place I did have a good look at 2 Spanish 80's and a 90 with a pop tip conversion.
Tomorrows mission after insurance is to get down to Essaouira so I can catch up with some Moroccan friends before heading off road for a couple of weeks
I'll try and update this as I can a maybe even post some pics but you may need to wait until I get home/decent internet
