Spain & Morocco

a long day and stopped to cook and eat at a garage on the roadside; eventually stopped in a tiny hotel on the eve of their christmas day so parties all around. All were grateful to stop at around midnight for a quick drink and then bed. Carol struggles more to communicate in spanish than french.
VERY cold in the morning and Carol had to drive in fog and ice.

Through the remainder of the centre of spanish mountains to the very south. Caroline is a superb cook but also uses her sat nav with great skill. Camped overnight in a campsite in Marbella with a lovely evening meal out to celebrate Peter getting older and our last meal in europe.

Awoke wednesday morning (7th Jan) and headed for the Algeciras port with a new team member, John to join Steve in the green tail end charlie reliable car. Swiftly purchased tickets and rode the car ferry to Ceuta. Without working sat nav on the far side we took our time to find the right roads but finally used a bit of off road when Kev decided to use the verge late that night. We tried to stop in many hotels but ended up on the roadside for a few hours in Rabat before completing our route to Mohammed in Marrakesh.

Glen, our team leader decided that we had to look at Casablanca on the way which proved to be exciting for all in raging busy traffic but we were elated to regroup the convoy by a huge mosque on the beach. I will upload photos next stop as I want my dinner and to go and experience the souks and snake charmers in the central square in Marrakesh.

We have serviced and fixed cars and did a bit of washing today ready for an early start to head on through Morrocco and then to Mauritania.
