2 July




FIRST NIGHT AT ASILAH

Our first mission was to find Dirhams. We thought we would find an automatic cash dispenser in the newly build harbour but this wasn’t so. The nearest one turned out to be in Tangier at 40 kms further! After having paid the toll road with euros to get there we were able to fill our wallets and we set out to find a place to sleep for the night. 

Asilah was the next little town on the coast and we stayed there in a little hotel in the city-center. The friendly owner  recommended us a traditional restaurant just down the road where we had a Chicken Tajine . The night was warm and pleasant and the centre had come alive with people, kids & cats! 

On our way home we were witness of a traditional Moroccan marriage ceremony where the bride was carried around the village inside a tent-like hut pulled by a donkey.  Lots of men, women and children escorted her with drums and flutes.

While the centre was buzzing, we decided to call it a night.
