This generated a spark of interest along with reports I had seen earlier on the internet, we both also fancied visiting somewhere different. Morocco is certainly different to anywhere else we have been and we both thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Had we made the trip alone, I doubt we would have seen half the places visited or learnt quite so much about the country. Morocco was a unique experience and we are glad we put our reservations aside and did it. We drove all the way from home and back using the Tunnel to cross the Channel, a total journey of just 3 miles short of 5000 miles of which 1547 were in Morocco. The average cost of fuel was: France £1.06 per litre, Spain £0.96 per litre and Morocco £0.59 per litre. Our average fuel consumpion was 22.4 m.p.g. and we were away for a total of 43 days, 22 of which were spent in Morocco.
