| Nigel resting in the Town of..... |
It is now nearly midnight and the day started at 6am this morning....
we were up early and one the road as said but in addition to arriving at the ferry and it being 4 hours late; was that by the time they loaded it we were five hours late...
But never the less we did arrive in Morocco... and having missed the touts who must be shopping the Spain at this time... it was an easy passage through customs etc...
We then motored towards Rabat on the motorway as we were so late... David had booked us into a Ibis hotel in Meknes but now we were now going to be late and they would not change the booking.... so we motored on until just passed Larache and then turned East to get off the motorway and onto the R410... which we did but then got hopelessly lost in a arse of a place named Souk el Arba du Rharb which translates into the Place built on top of a rubbish tip..... and after quite a few recommendations from locals and very friendly police force we got back on the main road. It is now getting dark and we still have lots of miles still to do.... Lights on and Ride on.... We finally arrived in Meknes and, more by guess than judgement we found McDonalds and the Ibis Meknes next door. We dumped the kit in the room and wandered off for a restful meal at the Pizza Hut.....
We should now be checking the maps before tomorrow - one very long day ended.... Note to self - 1st Rule of Motorcycle Travel.... Don't Ride at Night......
