The first day was a nice start to the trip, no real issues other than Mr Butlers bike ran out of fuel 5 mins from the Atlas Hotel. I gave Mr Butler fuel from my spare tank and Paul D had a tow rope (Paul D had everything), and towed him when the bike still wouldn't start.
I zoomed off to the hotel which is on top of the hillside over looking the town, fantastic views. When I got there they were fully booked, which was a supplies as last year at the same time we were just about the only people in the hotel. I pressed the manager and all he could offer us was a suite with 4 double beds and one bathroom but he wanted 2,000 MAD which at 0.078 to the pound is £156.00 not bad but we decided to try somewhere else.
Plan B was to go into the centre of town and stay in the Parador. So off we went, well almost, Mr B was convinced that there was something wrong with the carbs on his bike and wanted to find a place in the shade to work on it. Fortunately the trip from the Atlas hotel into town was all down hill. Part way down his bike started, the petrol I had given him must and made it's way the the carbs and he was on his way, much to everyone's relief.
Get gets to the Parador, Full ! Guy on reception says it's because for the Chinese, a couple of Chinese travel companies had done deals with the hotels in and around Chechaouen. So while the rest of the guys are locking up there bikes Paul D and I go looking for digs. Everywhere is full ! We did get offered one room with two double beds but we declined.
Finally Paul R and Mr Butler go off and look for rooms, they come back and they have found a gem of a place!! Take a look, only 350 MAD inc break fast that's £27.30 each!!
