Friday 9 February 2007



Stayed in Beni-Mallal last night, slumming it in a four star hotel as we arrived late, so a bit hard to find a camping ground (thats our excuse and we're sticking to it). Nice short drive to Marrakech, which was good as Priscilla was leaking water like mad. Steve found a local mechanic after some bad French and not so bad sign language. Water pump replaced by the the side of the road in very efficient fashion and looks good. Toured the souks a little bit in the Medina and met some of the other teams for dinner (we recommend the chicken tangine at Chez C...something).

This morning we head for the Atlas mountains to really put the new water pump to the test. Bonn chance Priscilla.

Hi guys

Glad to see you are back! I've been checking your SMS but much prefer the full lenght version.

I like that Priscilla is now getting to see all her brothers and sisters. She'll be feeling right at home.

Take care and watch out for dodgy lamb tagines Steve!

Hi Rebecca

Have been reading your blog and it sounds great fun. Glad Priscila has new waterworks - she will need it for the atlas mountains. Looks like a great trip. You have missed inches of snow here and now - a deluge of water.

Take care
