We drove the coastal road from Essouaria up to El Jadibah. The sea views were lovely; it was good to see miles and miles of undeveloped coastline and sandy beaches. We travelled with Richard and Cheryl and stopped along the way for a bite to eat – keftas this time. We also called at a supermarket to buy steaks for the bbq planned for tonight.
On arriving in El Jadibah, we found ourselves being diverted back on ourselves down a sandy track; apparently, the king is here to attend a famous horse show and we were not allowed to go any further along that particular road. It reminded me of when we saw all the security in Ireland because we happened to be there when President Obama was visiting.
When we arrived at the site, the others were keen to get on with the meal. We managed to fit six steaks on our bbq and Shirley did the potatoes in her electric fryer which we plugged into the back of our van. A saucepan of onions from us and a ratatouille from Cheryl, and we were sorted! It was delicious! Another lovely evening! The only sad thing was that Selwyn and Linda didn’t turn up at this site and the bbq was their idea – we think that they stuck to their original plan and stopped earlier at Safi [they have left more time than the rest of us for making their way back to Ceuta and the ferry back to Spain].
