After a shave and wash I had brekkie with the family and Mohamed arrived at 9.30. We went via the motorway which gave me a chance to check out the road; the a5 which seemed pretty good by Moroccan standards so I will take that when I leave as it avoids the heavy traffic.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_26709\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-26709\" class=\"wp-image-26709 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/snailpacecycling.co.uk\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/0798-6-11-Beach-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/snailpacecycling.co.uk\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/0798-6-11-Beach-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/snailpacecycling.co.uk\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/0798-6-11-Beach.jpg 816w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-26709\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Beach at Moulay Bousselham<\/p><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"> We got there and went for a nice walk along the beach. It was good to be back in familiar surroundings again and I liked knowing where everything was and visited my shoe repair man that I\u2019d taken photos with. We had a chat and then Kamal and the others went to the mosque while I had a coke with Younes. Then we took quite a while to choose some fish for lunch which was cooked in a restaurant nearby.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_26710\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-26710\" class=\"wp-image-26710 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/snailpacecycling.co.uk\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/0818-6-11-a-feast-of-fish-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/snailpacecycling.co.uk\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/0818-6-11-a-feast-of-fish-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/snailpacecycling.co.uk\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/0818-6-11-a-feast-of-fish-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/snailpacecycling.co.uk\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/0818-6-11-a-feast-of-fish.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-26710\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">A feast of fish<\/p><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">There was so much fish that we didn\u2019t manage to get through it all and took a doggie bag home. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">We walked around the Souk and then headed back and had tea at the house. I slept most of the way back as all this doing nothing can be very tiring. Then we went to see how Aziz was getting on in his new house and had more tea. I needed 40 winks, but Siri came back to pray and as it was a holiday the prayers seemed to take longer, so I didn\u2019t get much sleep before going to the patisserie and then having spaghetti with milk. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Kamal tried to persuade me to stay longer and the negotiations are ongoing!
