Day 4 - Morocco Lazy Day

Spoke too soon, H slept til 9am, a new world record! We went to breakfast where they were serving pancakes and then found the chef doing eggs, so some of those too. After some croissants and fruit we figured we’d had more breakfasts that a Hobbit and waddled off.

The hotel rep was on site so we went to see what he had to say. He tried to sell us tickets to excursions, I asked how much the Crocoparc was that we did on day 2, and it was double the cost plus you’re restricted to when the coach comes and goes so we left him to it and went for a walk. The plan was to walk along the fron5 until we found the road train which would take us to the harbour. The rep had told us where it was so we headed there. Obvs it wasn’t there, so we walked and walked and found a tourist info centre. They told us the train was just over there which it wasn’t so we decided that the train was a myth and just walked the route instead. On the way we stumbled across the first running of the Moroccan Historic car rally so we had a look at some classics (Ferrari Testarossa, Porsche 356, Lancia Delta, Austin Ambassador!) The sun was still behind the clouds but it was still getting warm so we stopped for a drink and carried on out hobbit like walk to the harbour. We eventually made it, without seeing the train at all and went to see Jack Sparrows pirate ship. The sun was out now and H was getting warm, we’d walked about 3 miles so opted for a taxi back.

The roads were closed due to the rally and the taxi driver vented his anger at the by blasting his horn for no good reason, I don’t know what he expected anyone to do!

Back at the hotel we grabbed a late lunch, BBQ chicken.

Harrison was now “the hottest he’s even been” so we headed for the sanctuary of our air conditioned room to cool off and avoid the afternoon heat wave.

Later we hit the water slide pool, Harrison has learned to scream when he goes down, but you probably knew that as you could hear him. The pool was quiet today only 2 or 3 others there which was nice.

Later we indulged in our all inclusive meal, the desserts were good today and we mostly ate meringues.

That evening I taught H how to play Boules which he loved and was genuinely good at considering his first throw was as accurate as a Scud missile.

We then had to have an early night as we had an early start tomorrow so I put the F1 highlights on to send him to sleep, works every time.
