8 July


Souk El Had, Agadir

Our wake-up this morning was a fresh one with the morning fog of the coast covering us like a blanket.

After breakfast we took off towards the well-known city of Agadir. The cool morning was perfect for this! We paid a visit to the souk which turned out to be immense! There were different sections: vegetables, spices, clothes, electronics, fabrics and more...

Bargaining wasn't an easy task, or no longer is maybe..... too many tourists now? Paying too easily what they ask for? Certain items even had a fixed price.

After Agadir we made a stop at Thazraout on our way back, a well-known surfspot and hang-out for the surfers (although I didn't see many..) Waves were small and the beach quite crowded. We had some food instead and returned to the camping to pick up the necessities for surfing for the boys.

The small waves and flat beach near the camping were perfect for them to get back into the moves. Kimo was the only one out with a skimboard, he was quite an attraction for the local youngsters and Keone enjoyed the small waves to practice his balance.

Tonight will be our last night here as tomorrow we will visit Taroudant which is 80 km east of Agadir. It is called the "Grandmother of Marrakech" as it is a mini version of the latter.

Weather temperatures are forecasted at 37 °! A record for us so far!

Well, I'm off to enjoy a glass of Local Rosé, which we finally found at the supermarket in Agadir...
