After an excellent nights sleep in a non-rocking bed I got up and had along leisurely shower in a
non-rocking shower and then an excellent continental breakfast sitting at a non-rocking table.
Did I mention that the Hotel was non-rocking :-)
The big plan for today was to go camel riding in the afternoon. I spent a couple of hours surfing the net
and looking for hints on how to extend the battery life on my laptop then wandered off to the boat landing
where everyone was meeting.
Essaouira is so friendly and clean by comparison to Marrakech that it wa almost like walking at home.
The camel riding was really cool. There were 5 of us, Ryan, John, Gunner, Gary and me. It cost 150 DH
for an hour and we headed down the beach towards the sand dunes and ruined fort to the South. It was
facinating and very hard on the thighs. A camel is a lot wider than a horse so by the end of the hour I was
really ready to get off even though that hurt too.
After that we just wandered around eating and wasting time till the 7:00pm skiff run. Time well spent in
this fascinating place.
Tomorrow we leave for the Canaries which should take 4-5 days depending on the weather.
Thanks for reading.
