Today we got up early, it was darn hot last night. The fan lasted till six o’clock, then the jumpstarter was empty and from then on it was too hot to bare again. After all, it would have been better to sleep on the roof in the shade and outside with a bit of wind.
We were a bit grummy this morning, cause in the room across there was a family with a small daughter. They woke up at 6:50am and when they were packing the room they let her talk very loudly and had no notion of other people they held awake this way.

| The way you see it the most, full of people, sometimes 7 persons (2 on the front passengers seat). |

 |
| Marrakech, Morocco. They drive sometimes a couple of million kilometers here, one Taxi driver said. |

Before we left Marrakech I searched for a shop where I could buy something to hold the stool on the roof, because we had to travel the rest of the journey with that huge unhandy stool I bought.
Next time we’re in Marrakech we will try to find our way a bit further away from the big touristic Djamaa el Fnaa square.
Close to the parking lot we bought 220liter vegetable oil and left Marrakech. When we were at the embassy we had to show a receipt, which we did not get. No receipt? Then no passports. ‘You DID receive a receipt’ they said stringent.
‘No passports back!’ Then we had to wait, important people were told about our problem and we had to wait and wait. They asked Melissa in and out and then we both had to come in. They were mad at us for not having this receipt and we were mad at them because we didn’t get one!
I told them we had to get it back, not our problem that THEY made a mistake. The we finally were told we could get it back, but not today, it will be tomorrow. Great.
So, we went back to this crappy camping again, ironically named ‘Oasis’ I guess. Well, it was such a nice place anyway, we loved to stay there, *Sigh*.
Then Ramon got sick, he started to throw up and we’ve put him to bed early when he was able to sleep.
