The problems with fuel continued and despite having jerry cans, it was difficult to cover great distances particularly on my D3 as the V8 was quite thirsty on the sand parts. The group also wanted to stay a bit longer than a night in Marrakesh so we adjusted the itinerary and headed towards the city of the Snake charmers a day ahead of planning.
The route was very pretty and we crossed the Atlas at another pass with amazing views. We met a family in a DII with problems on the gearbox, which was serviced in Zagoura but still needed further attention. They headed back for another check while I was saving every drop to get to Marrakesh and all fuel stations were empty.
At sunset, Ana said "look I think there are some cars filling up here..." and they were indeed...I managed to fill 83 litres on my tank (86l is the capacity) and then both jerries, as did the rest of the group.
Back on the road we arrived at Marrakesh and went straight to our camping north of the city, which was very nice and clean indeed.
