Day 7 Agadir Morocco - A Much Needed Chill Day

Day 7 was very much a mega chill day, especially after two full-on days of excursions. We didn't have anywhere we needed to be, nothing we needed to see and, for once, absolutely no alarm clocks or early starts to worry about.

As a result, I didn't take anywhere near as many photos today. We pretty much just floated between the hotel pools and the beach, soaking up the sunshine and enjoying the chance to properly relax. The occasional game of bocce provided a bit of entertainment and stopped us from becoming completely horizontal for the entire day!

In the evening, Brandon and I headed out onto the promenade behind the hotel in the hope of getting some decent sunset photographs. We'd assumed the sun would set nicely behind Mount Oufella, which we thought would make for some great shots. Unfortunately, it was a little misty and, as it turned out, the sun actually sets a bit further out from the mountain anyway. So our grand plan for some spectacular Mount Oufella sunset shots didn't quite go to plan!

One thing we had started noticing during our daily trips into the sea, though, was the amount of fish just off the beach. Whenever we were jumping around in the waves, we'd regularly see shoals of fish that looked to be around 6–10 inches long almost "surfing" the waves with us.

When the waves settled down, you could see them swimming just beneath the surface, with their heads occasionally poking out above the water. Then, every now and again, one would suddenly launch itself completely out of the sea, almost like a miniature dolphin.

We never did find out exactly what type of fish they were, but they became a bit of a feature of our daily swims. We saw them pretty much every day and would often stop to watch them jumping around in the waves.

So, not the most eventful day of the holiday, but after the madness of Marrakech and our Mount Oufella excursion, it was exactly what we needed.

Sometimes the best holiday days are the ones where you do absolutely nothing!

Morning stroll through the hotel gardens for my early dip in the sea.

The gardens on the resort were very well maintained.

Mount Oufella looking very clear today. If you look close you can just see the cable cars going up the right hand side.

The beach starting to get busier.

Nice clear sea water on a hot day.

Josh and Holly are like me and love the sea. Tina didn't go in once all holiday (criminal).

Race on.

And then falling over.

Josh and H taking in the views.

Brandon was back at the hotel sunning it up with Tina.

Trying to outrun waves.

Sea smiles.

Life guard tower in front of our hotel. My god did they over use their whistles!!!

Selfie with me and H.

Me and B on one of our after dinner walks to try and catch a sunset.

The sun didn't quite set over Mount Oufella.

Still a stunning view.

The sea mist kind of added to the sunset.

Ramp 18 just outside our hotel.

Ending the day with a round of Mahia's.
