Farewell Squeaky, you'll have to fend for yourself I'm afraid.

Smooth motorway drive down a very green Morocco with lots of market gardens and I'm guessing banana trees under plastic. Downloaded courtesy of the Maidenhead library, Peter Pan as a talking book. Realised that I haven't read it before and it is excellent. The Disney Peter pan book we had as a child didn't do it justice.

Searched for a supermarket en route and dived into Marjane Kenitra which was only a small deviation. Picked our way through town with scooters, taxis and carts passing us on of both sides of the fifteen metre by two and a half metre moving road block that we create.

Guessing that it took about twenty minutes to get to Riccarton Mall with its car park sporting late model cars which should have served as a warning. Jacqueline, Iris and Fyfe disappeared in and returned some considerable time later with most of the things on the small list in three carry bags. It was only on later investigation that we realised that we had paid over $NZ10 for a small camembert and $NZ20 for two boxes of muesli. Food has been very cheap here so we haven't been too bothered however this small shop at $NZ136 is a lesson. Back to the markets for us. The chicken at this mall was four times the price it is at the butchers here. I did note that people were not coming out with laden trundlers just a few minor things.

Arrived in the dark here at Ocean Blue, dug a super nice chap out of the bar and he guided us to a large site at the back of the campground.

Looking forward to plunging the Disco into Casablanca tomorrow.

Found a setting I can change to let anyone post comments as I know it has been an issue. Please feel free to comment below.
