The Juggler and Ladylove wanted to see Essaouira so we made a quick dash up there between awful weather and were rewarded with a day of glorious sun. I even ventured onto the ramparts of the old Portugese Fortress. It's been too cold and windy to think of that the last couple of trips.
We had a lot of time on our hands whilst the other two explored so we filled it with paying too much for Xmas presents for other chums as I wasn't in a very haggley mood. We got some extreme presents especially for Ali Baba - The Knitter is going to kill me.
Then we went to lunch at the Chalet du Plage and watched the Gnaoua musicians and the seven-a-side footballers who knew just when to finish their game to miss the tide. I hadn't realised that when you have such a small goal you still have a full-time goalkeeper. Also if I had to bet my money would be on the team wearing trainers and not barefoot. As they left the gulls and waders came in to feed.
We had a better hotel than last time and they gave us a free upgrade so it was quite luxurious. Once you realised the postal address was the back of the hotel and that the front was on the main square it was easy to find too. So, nice view from the balcony and just a step to the sea near the walls.
