On the final stretch of
the journey taking Sandra, Eric & Irene back to Marrakesh for
their return flights I was stopped for the first time ever by the
Gendarme. I was speeding, doing 69kph in a 60 zone which I had not
noticed. They showed me approaching on their hand held camera. After
producing all my document I was informed there was a fine of
300Dirham which I got from my wallet. I was asked to get out of the
van and go to their patrol car and was shown an official form with
300Dh printed on it. I handed the money over and I was asked if I
wanted a receipt, being in a hurry I said no. I was then handed the
money back and the Gendarme said ok give me what you want! What to
do? I had 3 x 100 notes in my hand so offered him 100Dh, he shook my
hand and seemed to want to be my best friend! We were then quickly on
our way. So it cost me less than £8.00
