We went to Agadir for provisions and had lunch at the beach. It was cooler than Taroudant seemingly because of a strong sea breeze so not that many people were using the beach but it made the flags look good.
They have finished work on upgrading the beach car park. Now it is very official with barriers in and out although the guardians still stand there to work the machine and give you your ticket. For us it has a definite upside. The standard daytime parking charge in morocco is 2 Dh (16 pence). When they stopped parking on the esplanade they increased the car park fees to 5Dh, but the new tickets must be time stamped because we only ever have to pay 2Dh, thus saving 25p a visit.
Part of the improvement is the provision of public toilets and showers in the car park. They have built 3 blocks next to each other. The bit I don't understand is that each block has showers and toilets and each block has separate parts for men and women. I would have expected one block for men and another for women and perhapes a mixed one for people with young children of the opposite sex and as back-up in case one of the others malfunctioned. Strange.
Blue sky, thank you.
