Phil and Jules had gone on ahead and reported back a pool with sun loungers, free wifi and a well laid out site &#8211; as well as hot, clean showers, something of a luxury in Moroccan campsites. As it was only 15 minutes down the road from the guarded parking, we headed south to spend a couple of nights there.<\/p>\n<p>The drive out of Marrakech was uneventful as the traffic was minimal and we&#8217;re now sort of used to scooters driving at you the wrong way up the street, overloaded donkeys tottering down the cycle lanes and the general chaos at junctions &#8211; traffic lights don&#8217;t seem to strictly apply here.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_25943\" style=\"width: 630px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-25943\" class=\"size-large wp-image-25943\" src=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/DSC05673-1024x512-1024x512.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"620\" height=\"310\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/DSC05673-1024x512.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/DSC05673-1024x512-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/DSC05673-1024x512-768x384.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-25943\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">It&#8217;s not only overladen donkeys on the roads, scooters have to earn their keep too<\/p><\/div>\n<p>We stopped off at a Carrefour supermarket on the way, but when we arrived we found the car park was underground. It looks like they had almost anticipated the influx of European motorhomes to this familiar French supermarket as there was plenty of space for us to turn and get back onto the road.\u00a0Undeterred we headed for the road running behind the shopping complex that housed the supermarket and found plenty of space there. Jay waited with Charlie and Zagan while I headed in for a few things.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_25945\" style=\"width: 630px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-25945\" class=\"wp-image-25945 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/IMG_20170126_113210351-1024x576-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"High Atlas Mountains Morocco\" width=\"620\" height=\"349\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/IMG_20170126_113210351-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/IMG_20170126_113210351-1024x576-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/IMG_20170126_113210351-1024x576-768x432.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-25945\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The road south from Marrakech has the most amazing view of the High Atlas Mountains &#8211; if you can see through the exhaust fumes<\/p><\/div>\n<p>A couple of hours, and three bursting bag-for-lifefulls, later I staggered up the stairs of the shopping centre (yes you couldn&#8217;t wheel your trolley to the car on the back road) back to Zagan. Jay was wondering at what point he should try and find me to see if I was OK, but as it was my first supermarket in Morocco on this trip, I had a lot to be looking at (sadly no photos as I forgot to take the phone with me).<\/p>\n<p>After a quick wander around the ornate silver tea pots and small tea glasses and a gawp at the prices for scooters and TVs I then made my way past the tartan patterned Djellabas (I was tempted at 195Dh, about \u20ac20) in the ladies wear section to the food. The first thing I noticed was Carrefour&#8217;s own &#8216;budget&#8217; range of products was about the same price as their normal range, then I spotted the wildly varying prices &#8211; 250g of feta cheese ranged from 15Dh to 80Dh (\u20ac1.50 &#8211; \u20ac8) depending on which brand it was. Of course the locally-produced stuff turned out to be the cheapest, so Arabic labelled yoghurt (12.50Dh for 8) went into the trolley along with a decent chunk of goat&#8217;s cheese, badly wrapped in clingfilm with a smudged label, for just 20Dh (about \u20ac2). I also picked up a cooked chicken for just under \u20ac4, which we devoured in two meals once we reached the campsite.<\/p>\n<p>Of course the best part of going to a foreign supermarket is all the strange stuff you can buy to try. Along with a bottle of spicy Harissa sauce we are now the proud owners of a tub of preserved lemons. Stored in salt and vinegar they are used in Moroccan cooking, which is just as well as they are a somewhat acquired taste when scoffed straight from the jar. Finally I flung in the trolley a few of the local chocolate wafer bars that we see being sold on every street, after chomping one with a brew we worked out that they were less than 10p each, so we&#8217;ll be picking up a few more of them next time we see them.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_25946\" style=\"width: 630px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-25946\" class=\"wp-image-25946 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/IMG_20170126_175713444-1024x576-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Peasant Potato Chips\" width=\"620\" height=\"349\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/IMG_20170126_175713444-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/IMG_20170126_175713444-1024x576-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/IMG_20170126_175713444-1024x576-768x432.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-25946\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">A present from the supermarket for Jay, but Charlie is keen to know what peasants taste like too<\/p><\/div>\n<p>The best buy though, which was in close competition with the cooked chicken, was a small bottle of rose oil for a friend which cost 70Dh (about \u20ac7). If bought in the UK it would be more than double, maybe triple the price. So we&#8217;re now on a mission to track down some more bargain rose oil.<\/p>\n<p>Since arriving at the campsite we&#8217;ve done very little.

Those runs were along beaches, around cities, besides fjords and through some of the most fantastic scenery. I jogged my way around Stockholm and even squeezed in a 10k along a beach on the Algarve. While I know everything will be great on Sunday, if anything should stop me getting to the finish line I don&#8217;t mind as I&#8217;ve got some wonderful memories of what it took to get me here in the first place, and there will be other runs.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_25948\" style=\"width: 630px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-25948\" class=\"size-large wp-image-25948\" src=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/IMG_20170124_155848259_HDR-931x1024-931x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Marrakesh Marathon\" width=\"620\" height=\"682\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/IMG_20170124_155848259_HDR-931x1024.jpg 931w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/IMG_20170124_155848259_HDR-931x1024-273x300.jpg 273w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/IMG_20170124_155848259_HDR-931x1024-768x845.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-25948\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">eeek!<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Ju x<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Zagan the motorhome is resting, as are we.
