Destination Morocco/Western Sahara

Gatwick to Casablanca then change for Dakhla in what used to be Western Sahara.

There were great views of Portland and Chesil beach, the channel and over the Brest peninsular.  The snow on the top of the Pyrenees looked spectacular.

Chesil Beach

Lunch was a recycling nightmare with plastic packed smoked trout, plastic and foil packed cream cheese with plastic packed bread roll - all the crockery and cutlery was . . . . . yes, you guessed it, plastic and wrapped in plastic.

Foil packed main course of vegetable rice and more plastic for yogurt which did the usual explosion up the side of the cabin.

Sunset over Morocco

With all this plastic I thought of my first visit to the Sahara desert and the glistening plastic everywhere - no wonder if this was anything to go by, but then every one of the millions of flights a day are creating this waste! 

There has to be a better way forward. 

Lots of plastic!

After strange experience at Casablanca airport with no-one there to check us through immigration, we were soon on our second flight.   

More plastic-wrapped food with a savoury filled roll, and a chocolate chip cake, more yogurt and an apology from the crew for a delay we weren't aware of and eventually we had reached our hotel for a good nights sleep.
