Update 23rd
Headed to casablanca and got into the city, not at all the romantic notion you have of this famous place. The lorries and cars long past their useful life churn out deep bellowing dirty fumes that choke. They have no order to their driving and within 30minutes id more than had enough of mad cap overtaking and skimming either side of me to make me whince with horror. Since poop valve was broken and needed servicing every half hour i headed back to where i stayed my first night in morocco, in larache. The guy on reception remembered me and was very glad to see his hotel key again, i had been carrying it since id left. I fell into bed, with intentions to go out later but the only sights i saw this time were the toilet and my bed!
A bit later…
Left larache heading to the lixus ruins, impressive if you know your history, unfortunately, i dont! Im so uncultured! Into asilan and found a nice hotel but everything in minature! Used the toilet 10 or 12 times then fell asleep for three hours. Walked to the medina which has the exotic feel of an old greek island. Shower and out for dinner where i meet yet another old con artist. The entertainment with these guys is well worth the few euro they manage to part from you, always ending with a quick exit excuse of ‘i must go pray’ which is code for ‘find another punter.’ So ive bought some sandels for 15quid - they hurt already, i must shave my toes -, a 100grams of safron for 12quid, got a silver necklace with coral beads which will keep me safe from the evil eye - for ‘free’ because he felt i was kind, not to mention two large bags of natural viagra. Now, what would i want with natural viagra? Although it may be handy, i think you need two to trial and test. The interesting bit to this was the offer to try before i buy…ive often thought i should wander the streets of morocco at night with a bulge in my pocket, but not that kind of bulge! In the end ive parted with 30quid, about 380 dirham, but i have some things to hold, some smiles to remember and an experience yet to come, for me and some lucky girl!
A bit later still….
Had a close shave. I forgot to mention today i had a haicut and a real shave, i mean one like ive never had before. My face is as clean as a babies bum, its taken ten years off me. I now look 17again. Fantastic feeling, why cant we get this in england?
