Christmas Eve!!

An early Christmas present greeted guy early in the day in the form of a dose of the runs, This was best remedied by a marathon drive across some spectacularly picturesque and pot-holed roads down to Zagora in an attempt to keep a rendez-vous with our copper/arms smuggler friend, Masjid, in the dunes of Tinfou, this lead to an aborted short cut attempt to go off-piste at the village of Al Nif only to find ourselves embroiled in a childrens mince pie riot 200 m from the road, to which we beat a hasty retreat. Trying to make time and still practising our Moroccan driving styles guy attempted a rather dangerous maneouvre which ended in a game of chicken at over100 km an hour with overloaded moroccan merc. Fortunately in a country where might is right the merc binned itself and the occupants were left waving their fists in a cloud of dust.
