Day 7 and I went for a quick dip in the pool this morning.
It was much warmer than the last pool, but it wasn't exactly warm either.
One of the Americans in the group saw me from her balcony and asked what the temperature was like and I said it was refreshing and it actually was.
After holding the group up at dinner last night while I phoned home I was determined not to be the last one on the bus today so went down early and was actually the first to load my stuff on the bus.
Our first stop was a tannery where I treated myself to a leather satchel.
I had wanted one since I started my MA and had always said I would have to wait till I had earned it. Here, where they were made and only 3 months away from graduating from the course I felt like I could finally buy one.
Regardless of the fact that I felt like my play still wasn't complete and regardless of the fact that I had no idea what my future held I was chuffed to bits with it.
It was a writer's satchel and it was mine.
We stopped at a supermarket to grab stuff for a picnic on the beach and a few of us grabbed some cold beers out the fridge too - it might be a muslim country but we were on holiday so if they were selling we were buying - so a few of us enjoyed a quick beer in Agadir!
I said to my roommate for the trip that I couldn't concentrate on my food when the water looked so inviting so we rolled up our trousers and went paddling. Unfortunately after about 10 minutes a wave came out of nowhere and soaked us. I was wearing combat shorts so they dried really quickly but she was wearing jeans so wasn't as lucky.
After lunch we hadn't been long on the bus when a little boy flagged the bus down on the other side of the road. He wanted to show us the goats in the trees.
I thought these goats were a myth and that we wouldn't actually see them but then again here I was on a holiday that I had won as a prize which is unheard of.
It just goes to show that anything is possible!
After a few photos were taken we jumped back on board and drove on to Essaouira where we would be staying for the next couple of days.
As we approached the town the sky above the sea was moody and it made the town look really dramatic and I was soon to discover that it was.
