CAMPING PARQUE TROPICAL

Sat 5th May.
A day of surprise's in different ways after our usual swim on a day of hot sunshine
to start.We went out for some shopping on the scooter as the Winnebago fridge/
freezer has gone again-it started up as soon as we bought the small fridge! When
we came back we had planned to go to Laguna Beach as Felix,Vidal's brother was
playing there in the afternoon.but just before we set off we had a cloud burst over
the site with thunder,lightening,rain and hailstones ! Lucky for us as we would have
been caught in it on the scooter in our shirt sleaves ! As we sat in the Winnebago
a couple who had arrived late on Friday in the spot next to us and had set up a
small tent,came back and were getting drowned-so we asked them in to shelter
from the storm.It turned out that they where on their way to Germany,Mohamed is
German and his wife Badia is from Morroco. They live in Agadir which is on the
west coast below Casablanca and past Marrakech on the Atantic side. After a
few drinks we found out all about the life/weather ect. in Agadir and all the details
about the sites in the area.The day before on Morrocan TV we had seen the open-
ing of a new motorway from Tanger to Marrakech by the King and Mohamed told
us about the journey times and distance,it's about 950kms. He also has the right
contacts to arrange a longer stay as the normal time is only 90 day's,so after we
had exchanged telephone number's and his address,he told us that he is coming
back to the site in a couple of weeks on his way back to Morroco,so we are
thinking of going back with them in a car as they have a guest room in their house
and they offered to put us up! We took them over some of the Beef Curry that we
had made and they gave us some oranges from his garden that had been picked
on Thursday.!! Mohamed also offerd to arrange things for us if we went down later
in the year after we come back over in September in the Winnebago.
