Bad luck comes in threes

Well they say bad luck comes in threes and this time is nothing different

Managed to get food poising 1 day before a 12 course Chinese banquet and could not eat any of it

Fell off a ladder 2 days before going on holiday (to Marrakesh) and punctured both shins on a ladder accessory, this scuppered my entry to the Cheltenham Tri for Sun 28th also.

Night before leaving for Hols a scrote comes onto the drive and just wrenched the top of the car door out with brute force. This now turns out to be a fault claim against me ??

But all that said we were on Hols A week in Marrakesh, that felt like 2 at least.  The riad was the best bit run by an English guy Peter the place as fab and the service could not be better.  The souks they took some getting used to but after a few days and a hammam all was good.  The traffic however that was bonkers. Felt like everything from cart, donkey, moped, car, van, lorry was all there just to run us over and pavements did not exist! (only had 2 near death experiences in 7 days)

Day trip out to the atlas mountains gave us a taste of what a trek would consist of. Think we have “done” Marrakesh now and would only go back as a stop over to the Atlas Mountains or the Sahara.

Need to calm down now and “process” the photos.
