Les Enfants de la Plage
Martin writes...In every rural place (I presume around the world), children have the habit of 'popping out of the ground' (according to Arnold).  It was exactly what happened to us. We had been travelling along a deserted road towards Essaouira when we decided to stop for some lunch. We had not been parked for five minutes when we saw the kids running towards us.

Les Enfants de la Plage

A half apple each served as a good option for a photo shoot. The young lad (below right) was the comic of the group and well versed at having his photo taken and posing for the camera.  We had a difficult time trying to get a move on after chatting with the kids.  A few of the boys started to grab onto the roofrack ladder and as we drove they would jump onto the back step hoping for a ride.  Eventually after about 500m we radioed Steve & Michele asking for some assistance in trying to get rid of the kids.  A stern word from Steve (in a loud voice) got them scattered enough so that we could make a quick getaway.

Campervans rule Morocco to the point that it seams there are more European (French & German) campervans on the road than local cars.  Every campsite, beach parking lot and local area have them stacked liked sardines. The good thing about the vans is that the drive & co never venture outside when it gets dark. We have been camped in a full campsite yet it seams we have the place to ourselves. The question still remains why you would want to venture outside of your campervan when it has a loo, cooking area and even satellite TV!
