The three days
since we left Morocco have been considerably more relaxed than the three days
before.
Leaving Chefchaouen, a quick wizz on Tuesday
morning to Ceuta found the usual Moroccan bureaucracy at the port. We have now clicked on that the more backward the country, the more officious are their
immigration officials. Eight unofficial port agents demanding a bung at the port
had not bargained that we are now worldly wise to all this rampant corruption
and so they received short shrift and before long we were through the border and back in Spain. TFFT
(which apparently is a youth text abbreviation type thing meaning 'hooray' and
completely appropriate here).

| The 'new' Red Lion... sorry Dan, we like this one more |
Civilisation is quite
good, we like it a lot and Puerto Banus is the perfect antidote to the Moroccan
'situation'. We quickly found a Red Lion type establishment which was perfectly
situated on the harbour and from where we could watch the world go by and pass
comment on all the posh cars, life and all we think we know about it.
On Wednesday visitors
arrived, RLB groupies if you will, in the form of former normal person Tony
Matthews, who has been on a clandestine trip of his own but kept falling out
with himself so decided to join us instead. And imagine how excited we were when
we were joined by Sir Richard Titspervert who interestingly bought his own
helmet with him but alas no motorcycle. Due to recent a recent photo-hacking scandal, Sir
Richard now goes by the name of James Filer, estate agent. Football pundit and Welsh person, Robbie Savage also turned up as he'd heard we were here and fancied getting in on the act. Savage... no!
It's probably time to
come clean and tell you, our devoted readers, that actually on Tuesday and
Wednesday we didn't do much motorbiking. In fact, we didn't do any. We were all
a bit fatigued and so the opportunity to do as little as possible was too good
to pass up. We did however send Paul out on his bike which meant that we could
sit in the 'new' Red Lion while he was out taking the photos showing what a good
day's ride it was. We are now seriously considering adopting this policy for future years.
