Day 3 - Morocco and the water park

We both awoke quite late this morning and headed down to breakfast. Following that I went and spoke to the taxi guys and worked out a deal to get to the water park later. We chilled for most of the morning but did go for a stroll along the front by the beach.

Late morning we went to the water park, it was new and very busy. The queuing here in Morocco is chaotic. If you leave the slightest gap in front, someone pushes in, I mean you practically have to have your nose on the person ahead. The tactic seems to be that some pushy woman wiggles in and then makes a fuss with arms everywhere blocking you while her family of 15 steam in. Elbows were sharpened at this point.

Once in, the place was huge, the main kids pool was 30cm deep and was the size of your average supermarket car park. In there were slides, climbing things, water jets and so on. We played for a bit and did some slides before going on the 1km long lazy river. Here we mostly recreated the Battle of Trafalgar by ramming the French until they surrendered.

Later we played catch a bit and eventually stopped for late lunch. Now this is basically a theme park so you can imagine the food prices, but not so. We shared a lovely large pizza that was freshly made in front of us, and two drinks for just £8!

Soon it was time to leave so we met our taxi man who appeared to know everyone in Agadir, and headed back to the hotel. The taxi man was very friendly and as he knows everyone is able to get cheaper excursions booked than via the usual methods so we swapped WhatsApp details for later.

Back at the hotel, Harrison wanted more pool time, so we hit the hotel pool and played on the slides for another hour before heading to dinner.

The food here is a bit of a challenge, there’s lots on offer but it’s not all appealing, and the good stuff gets raided by greedy people. The amount of people that load up plates and plates of stuff, take it to their table and then don’t eat it, is disgusting. We muddle through though.

As the food doesn’t start until quite late, it’s often bed time shortly after. Shark boy is zonked and fell asleep immediately, it won’t stop him waking at 6 tomorrow though!
