Our 2017 Eight Month Motorhome Tour – Winter in Morocco

Tour Summary

In November 2016 we took the ‘chunnel’ for the first time to France with no return booked. We met up with our friends Phil and Jules in their motorhome ‘Big Ben’ in the south of France. We then headed into Spain, and spent Christmas together in Portugal. After watching the New Year fireworks over Gibraltar, in January 2017 we set off in convoy to tour Morocco for three months. We ran the Marrakesh half marathon at the end of January, then explored the country from the Atlantic coast and desert dunes to the snowy capped-mountains. Back in Europe we said Au Revior to Phil and Jules as we undertook our first House Sit, spending a few weeks in Valle de Abdalajis near Malaga. We then worked our way around the coast of Spain to keep as cool as possible. We made a quick trip into the mountains of Andorra before heading back through France, stopping off to catch a stage of the Tour de France.
