Leaving Finca we, as normal, chose a minor and then the yellow and green squiggly roads. They were turning out to be the most exciting and fun to drive. After a quick shop to stock up the cupboards on the…
Camino Del Rey
Plan A; Get up early and get there for when it opens and try to get a ticket? or Plan B; follow the old adage Mad Dogs and Englishmen and go midday just as the locals are settling down to…
Atencion Carretera En Mal Estado
From Ronda we aimed to get to El Chorro. This started with us driving along an unopened duel carriageway and being let in to the traffic flow by a very nice workman – a sign of the day to come……???…
A wander around Ronda
First can we say Ronda is a stunning little town. Now we have to justify that sentence… To be honest that is easy… A 20 minute or so walk from the campsite saw us in the old town. One of…
A morning’s walk
Having seen a signed 3.9km walk in the town yesterday we decided to have a wander into the forest before we left for Ronda. All I can say is that the Spanish Cartographers must have been to the same school…
The Scenic Route
When you look at a map and see roads like this you know it is going to be a good day at the wheel. On top of that Bob’s birthday too. Woken to tickets to Supertramp at the O2 later…
The rain in Spain….
Does not fall mainly on the plain we can tell you….. Leaving Caceres we had planned to visit the Cascades del Hueznar, Merida and then onto an aire at Benarraba via Zahara and Ubrique (famous for its leather goods). However…
Coffee in Caceres
Later start today as no driving but still managed to catch the 10.00 bus from just outside the campsite and get into town with a coffee in Plaza Mayor by 10.45. Caceres has a nice little old town with fair bit…
An engine that wouldn’t stop, wiggleys and a cruise control.
Lets start by saying I do know a bit about wiggleys… Electric currents, are to some of us, wiggleys. I have studied wiggleys quite a bit and even have a City and Guilds Full Tech in Telecom wiggleys British Telecom were…
Weekend in Devizes
We got away to the Caravan and Camping Club site near Devizes for Easter and it was ideal. Not only did we manage to get away with friends but it was a great way to shake the van down for…

The shopping day
Today was always going to be a day of shopping. We started off at the Complexe D’Artisanat in Rue de la Kasbah. This is one of the few places in Morocco that you don’t barter. The prices are fixed and…
An even longer bimble
Today was another day to just wander around this glorious city. We started off by heading towards Jewish quarter. We dropped by Dar Si Siad which is former palace / royal house that now houses Moroccan arts. The building itself…
Just a bimble
Today was a later start… We updated yesterday’s trip on the blog and then just bimbled into town A lunch at the main square was followed by a wander around the parks. We managed to grab another geocache and a coffee….…
A driver called Younes, a couple of kasbahs and 20,000 or so photos…..
An early start today as we were heading over the a High Atlas and back again in a day; luckily we were not driving but were able to book a car and driver for the day at a very reasonable…
A wander round the city
Having visited most of the major sites in a Marrakech during previous visits, today we decided just to walk and see where we ended up whilst heading generally towards the east of the city. Things didn’t quite go to plan…
And back again
Having stopped at the Gatwick Hilton, with no free wifi in the room I may add, it was an early start to Marrakech taking off at 8.00. Made good time though arriving at 10.50, ahead of schedule. Through passport control…
All change…. again
Ok not Belgium now…. We’re back off to Morocco. Thought a bit of warmth would be good for June’s arm. by
