Camping in style
Our campsite was conveniently located behind the beach dunes and 1km from town. We parked up next to Maggie's sister - also a blue Defender 110.  This belonged to Arnold and his partner - a lovely Dutch couple. The key difference between the two landy's is that our sleeping quarters where on the top of the car, whilst theirs was inside (very snug!). Arnold showed us the interior of their landy - it was sheer luxury ... especially as it was pouring with rain outside (!).  His twin brother Henk, also a 4x4 enthusiast was parked behind him.  Henk had a Mitsubitishi which was sheer luxury - basin with running water, toilet, bed, etc. Michele and I were drooling ...

Douche Chaud
A hot shower makes you feel like a million bucks - well that was my aim this particular morning. With the rain pelting down, I needed something to pep me up. Having paid my 10Dh (70p), I was looking forward to a piping hot shower!  Now at this stage I need to explain the joys of showering in a campsite - there are some that are desirable and others less desirable.  In Morocco, the majority fall into the latter category. This particular one was dark with mouldy walls, greasy floor ... and nowhere to hang your clothes to keep dry.

With all this to content with, there is then the challenge of drying yourself and getting dressed afterwards. This needs to be done in two stages: first top-half - dried, creamed and then dressed; followed by bottom-half - with the challenge of trying to keep your trousers dry when putting them on. If anyone has found a solution for avoiding wet trousers, please let me know!
