Dnes ma caka presun na letisko al massiravzdialene neakych 10km od mesta. Na bus stanici ctm kupujem listok na 10/30 bus smer predmestie agadiru, inezgane. Ranajky si davam v blizkom obchodiku, opat rodinny podnik, otec predava a syn miesto skoly robi poskoka. Po jedle uz len cakanie na bus, najskor prichadza jeden, ten nie je moj, potom dalsi, nosic batoziny hovori,ze ani toto neni moj ale predavac listkov vravi opak. V buse len 4 ludia, batozina opat hore, pri predaji listka mi chcel nanutit aj batozinu dole ale opat som povedal carovne slovicko petit (maly) a bolo to. Inak batoh uz mam fakt maly, som kopu veci vyhodil : cca 4 pary ponoziek, 2 dlhe tricka, topanky a jedny trenky (nie neboli osrane) Za mestom opat pauza na odpocivadle, tu prichadzaju dva busy plne vojakov ale ... read more

Vymotovama sa okolo 8/45, na recepcii este nik ale tentoraz som uz zaplatil vcera. Inak ubytko mozem odporucit, maju aj fajn terasu. Vonku na ulici zasa problem s jedlom, nikde nic az skoro pri bus stanici ma odchytava zenska a uz do seba tlacim tradicne marocke ranajky. Chleba omacany do olivoveho oleja a to vsetko zalievane cajom. Na bus stanici opat stacilo povedat agadir a uz si ma odchytil nadhanac. Platim mu 200-kou, nema vydat, na zadok listku mi pise cislo, ktore mi ma vydat. Po par minutach prichadza k nemu druhy nadhanac, nieco sa dohaduju, beru mi listok ten trhaju a davaju mi novy listok, tento mi uz ma vydat ale len 100-ku, este mi dlhuje 40dh, to zapisuje na druhu stranu lisku. Taketo zapisy robi viacerym ludom. Tesne pred odchodom mi dava peniaze, batozinu ... read more

Strangely, I feel like I had a late night last night, even though in reality, I didn't! I was up and about at about 7.45. I made a coffee, then took it back to my bedroom. I heard Ella stirring at about 8.15; she is going in to work for an hour or so this morning, just to help get the group, organised for their breakfast, and first day surfing. Chakib and I get an hours snooze time. We have instruction from Ella. Chakib will walk with me to buy my ticket to return to Essouira, the bus doesn't go all the way to the airport, so I can get off the bus, take lunch, then get a taxi to the airport. I already know the difference of the taxis! From Essouira, the red Peugeot said ... read more

Today I realised, that sickly feeling that I thought were nerves, before going to Chakib's Mums house, was not nerves! I did think it was strange, as it's not a usual reaction for me. My stomach was churning. I now realise that was the beginning of an upset stomach! Not realising that's what it was, I ate everything at dinner. I had enjoyed the meal, but when I got home, I wasn't well! My stomach wasn't feeling good! I tossed and turned throughout the night. I felt really sick. It wasn't until the next morning, Omg, I was so sick! But once it was all up, I did feel a bit better! Ella and Chakib went out surfing, I stayed in bed. I am having a water only day today. I didn't leave the house for ... read more

So much for not blogging! Today we were up and out by about seven. Ella and Chakib are going out for an early surf at Crocco. It's a small bay near to Devil's rock. They are surging, I'm watching ... with coffee, well, that's the plan. Ella is test driving her potential new surf board. It feels good to be out and about early. I got seated at the cliff top, but after watching many people setting off down the beach for the morning walk, I felt a tinge of guilt day doing nothing! Eventually, the guilt got the better of me, I decided to join the walkers! I even threw in a few stretches at the half way point! Intermittently, I was watching Ella and Chakib in the waves. Chakib is giving Ella a lesson, ... read more
