Mohammedia, my stay

My first camping in Morocco !

2019-05-20

I arrived at this camping which is located directly next to the beach. And to appartmentbuildings. Luckily those were all not in use at this moment. xxx Picture Missing xxx

I installed my tent at a spot with some shade and with only somewhat smaller parcels around me. This since it is no fun to get surrounded by all kind of houses on wheels. That sometimes even have trailers with quads, scooters, minicars and even normal cars 🤔. xxx Picture Missing xxx

The camping was oké but dusty. In this climate (of heat and very heavy campers) there is no grass that can survive. xxx Picture Missing xxx

The drinkingwater was also oké (as usual) but still everybody bought bottled water to drink (as usual). Does the world have a plastic problem ? Ofcourse not 🙈 🙉 🙊. xxx Picture Missing xxx

Here you have once more a nice example of discrimination of single persons. Two people in a huge camper plus a trailer with a quad or car on it pay Dh 75 (€ 7.50) per day. I had to pay only Dh 65 per day. I discovered a big grasshopper in a palmtree in the small garden at the camping. Another beautiful animal 👍. xxx Picture Missing xxx

And large numbers of birds were taking a sandbath every now and then. It is there way to get rid of insects. But to me it looks like they also like it a lot 😉.

When I was reading my ebook I suddenly noticed something moving on my little table. An ant had decided to transport an old toothpick to it's nest. It was fascinating to see how the ant dragged that weight to the other end of the table.

And it is fascinating to daydream about the power to weight ratio that ants are capable of. I am cycling a bicycle that might have almost the same weight 🖱️ as I have 💪. This ant is handling something about 50x or 100x more heavy then it's own weight 👀.

I moved the combination back about ten times but the ant just started over and over again. Then I let him continue but the ant did not succeed to have the toothpick fall over the edge. Ants can not push but only pull. So it had a problem then how to pull outside of that table ???

It was intelligent enough to walk over the toothpick to the far end (so far outside the table). But it was ofcourse by far not heavy enough to have it tip over the edge. And it would not succeed to continue pulling it over the rough groundsurface anyway.

They will for sure outlive mankind ... 🖱️ 💭. xxx Picture Missing xxx

The camping is situated directly to the beach. But that "beach" is very hard to reach ! Besides that it is dangerously rocky and not very suitable to have a nice day "at the beach" anyway ... Then this "beach" is completely covered with garbage including millions of glassparticles. Where did they come from ??? xxx Picture Missing xxx

These cats (and dogs) come over to you to express there feelings by licking you. After they licked this, this, this and this. Bruhhh ... xxx Picture Missing xxx

It was time to make a tour through the village. xxx Picture Missing xxx

This whole coastal line is completely filled with brand new constructed holiday appartments. Although I suppose they are payed for almost non of them are occupied. Which I think is strange since Casablanca with it's 3.400.000 inhabitants is only about 40 kms away. xxx Picture Missing xxx

You quite often see ships lying still for days outside of harbours. They probably do so to avoid harbour costs if they have to wait anyway.

The camping was very dusty and I started to hate that. Besides that the owner was burning small amounts of garbage 24/7 to save money (I suppose). Because of the seawind that smoke was also blown all over the terrain 24/7.

I felt dirty all the time and therefore decided to buy an extra pair of long trousers. Then they don't dry in time without centrifuge. And shorts are just a bit to cold in the evenings. Even more important is that the mosquitos also like my shorts very much 💣.

There is a big outdoorshop in town and I immediately found trousers that fit me 😀. The next day I created this animation 🤳 so you too can enjoy the result. xxx Picture Missing xxx
