Urgent UK-Spain-Morocco travel update
Hi Folks,
Latest news. 1. Brittany Ferries are on strike tomorrow and offering P&O Dover Calais crossings as replacement. See the BF website for details. 2. Political demonstrations in Spain may cause disruption next week. See Foreign Office website for information. 3. Extreme weather in Morocco. 44 degrees in Marrakech and Tinerhir etc. pushing 50 in Zagora. 4. Several serious road accidents in the past few days. Two British girls dead and one chap seriously injured. Many near misses too being attributed to 3 above. Let's be careful out there. Peter

Has there been any more unrest with the Muslims and the American embassies?? |

Bloody striking ferries better sort out before I depart in 2 weeks though. Noticed temps are high but apples weather is always optimistic and won't cover south of the Atlas (minds you their new maps probable don't show anything to the south anyway lol )Driving safety, well it is Morocco, my golden rules are never drive at night unless you really have a deathwish or have a thorough understanding of the 'Inshalla' approach to life, and best avoid the buses outside of cities |

Ferries to Spain are resuming now - not that it helped us - extra 800+ mile drive via Dover
