ABANDONING Our Campervan In MOROCCO 🇲🇦

welcome back We are touring with the kids and we've been traveling on the road for almost 2 years it's been an incredible journey that has taken us all the way up to the Arctic Circle and having recently moved into our self-converted Lorry called Tory we have driven all the way from the UK to Africa where we're about to arrive at a very special place this is this is the destination people say we live this could be a we [Music] Dre what place guys to start this week's video we are still in the ziss valley which means we are a Stones Throw from muga the Sahara Desert crazy on the weekends dancing in her and I love the way she looks in my eyes and I feel Midnight's getting closer and I just want to hold her in my arms the right so we just turned off the main road and I've had to turn my TomTom off which I don't like doing that's my TomTom satav and put Google Maps on because my TomTom for some reason isn't loading these roads uh and the reason I don't like turning my TomTom off is because that has all my vehicle dimensions in so generally if it says I can go there I can go there so Google doesn't do that so I'm hoping I don't end up in some little village down here we'll see but it shouldn't be far it's only another kilometer or so see that L that the cam on it all we should get H yeah we should that looks really cool doesn't it Teddy they've got their out should we just go here yeah this is a lovely lovely campsite great first impressions owner was really welcoming well I'll push you in a minute really welcoming you know shook the kid hands pick Teddy up give him a cuddle told us about his own children as well so yeah I think we're going to like it here so we're going to be treating ourselves at this campsite because they have a little menu and they sell Tajin and beef skewers they also do cuscus Fridays and soup on Saturdays so it's a Thursday today so we're going for tajen and skewers and we're going to just me and Rick are just going to share them we've already fed the kids they've just had beans on toast today which don't feel sorry for them cuz they are more than happy with that so we fed them early and we booked in our food for halfast 6 and we're going to be eating it inside the Lorry cuz we don't have an outdoor table it would be lovely to eat outdoors but we don't have an outdoor table and we need to get one so we think Rick's going out see

mats are these yes so we got one on the front we' got a pair on the back this side we actually go gone up on the ramps there we go so we got one there and I think I'm actually going to buy another one another ramp because at the back we're only up on the single so we're only up on the inside one now these these firer I don't know what they're called but they're femer ramps the yellow ones I think they're rated 10 ton I think it's 10 ton per wedge so they're really really good um but as I said my buy another one so yeah we got parked up need to go show passports and do all the formalities and then we will show you the incredible view we've got this is awesome Jack is in his element this is literally crazy literally just stepped outside the campsite gate and you are in the purest of Sands
