The ferry to the Spanish Enclave of Cueta only takes 35min so before we knew it we were told to return to our vehicles and prepare to disembark. The town of Cueta did not offer much so straight onto the the border post where Debs and Michele sneakily snapped off a few pics before getting caught. The chap below chatting to Steve and I 'volunteered' his border services and as a result we got through fairly simply. 3rd Party insurance for our Land Rover cost 900Dirhams (90Euro).
The one mishap we had was the Motorola walkie talkies. We had stupidly forgotten to hide them so when customs found them we had a bit of explaining to do. In the end our 'Guide' persuaded customs that they were for in-car comms only. We are sure he had nothing to do with resolving the issue but insisted on a tip.

Stopping in our first Moroccan town gave us the opportunity to use the ATM to withdraw a few Dirhams. The currency is a closed currency which means that no money may enter the country or leave the country. Banks outside Morocco do not offer currency exchange rates.

Heading to the coastal town of LaRache we stopped along a small mountain pass for a cuppa tea. A Moroccan lady offered her blowing services to get Steve & Michele's kelly kettle burning so that we could have our cuppa.

- Must have cash ready for 3rd party insurance
- Must have a pen handy so that documents can be completed.
- Hide walkie talkies and any alcohol!
- Must smile and be friendly
