On to Taghazout

11-15

Marrakesh to Agadir, woke up at 8 am, 30DH taxi to the bus station. A bottle of water and a couple of croissants to go and I was on my way with a 4 hr bus ride to Agadir. Hot very hot, just going through the desert which didn’t look that different than Nevada. I did see some goats in tree’s…crazy. Then waited in sweltering heat and had to negotiate my ride to Tagzhout. 120DH I got a grand taxi to Tagzhout. I had no idea where I was staying and just walked around with all my stuff for about 5min until some surfing looking Moroccan guy came up and asked if he could help, he guided me over to a cafe/hotel and set me up with a Norwegian guy in his mid twenties who runs a "surfcamp"

Lapoint which is basically a bunch of rooms above a restaurant in the middle of town. For a really reasonable price I get lodging, breakfast, boards, suits and transport to the breaks. Walked out to anchor point with my rental board and it was cranking 1-2M tricky entry and exit, I am way out of shape. Cut my foot on the way out. And was in board shorts, water is high 60's. Air is mid 80's. Just like muslim version of Mexico in the summer.

Had dinner with everyone who is staying here, everybody is very cool all Norwegian or Swedish. All speak English. Sleeping proves difficult due to high frequency of hellatious (sp?) dog and cat fights out in the street. Once the sun goes down roving gangs of dogs control the streets and bark all night as if it were the dog equivalent of the wild west and spring break combined.. You would think they were boozing, they fight so much. An occasional cat fight occurs as well. Surprisingly the dogs and cats get along well....
