165. A bit like a resort

Agadir

Spot the camels

First day ensconced. Tightly ensconced. Children delighted as there is a pool and it is over twenty. Went for an explore to check in at the top end and explore the beach at the foot of the camp. Lots of surfing schools operating with each class on a different coloured board. Our girls keen, boys not so much. As soon as we got to the beach we were propositioned by every trader at two minute intervals. Camel rides, pastries, horse rides, guided tour - all a bit much. That is the good thing about being within the camp, little hassle.

Spent much of the afternoon at the pool which was wonderful, had it to ourselves and it was warm, both the water and the breeze. Children self entertained, loved the water slides and made good use of the Christmas snorkels/masks.

Thundered with rain last night however, by luck, we happen to be on a well drained site. Today was the day for the pool as tomorrow the rain is going to be huge. The countryside is so bony here that the water will just run off so we might visit one of the many gorges to see the effect of such a downpour.

Yarning on the phone to Mary and Stuff discovered that they are finishing shortly in the Canary Islands so we may catch up with them in a couple of weeks, somewhere in lower Spain which would be great.
