The next few days are going to be mostly about putting miles on the way to Morocco. Today we covered about 350 kilometers and arrived at Poitiers around lunch. Since the reception for the campground was probably closed we headed to the center of town to take a quick walk around the town.
Poitiers is a university town of around 90,000 people, and the medical students were out at every street corner raising money. If you gave them a Euro you got a hard candy. We weren’t sure what we contributed to but we did contribute.
We made a pass thru town that almost certainly didn’t do Poitiers justice. It was a nice town with interesting shops and a couple of nice cafe lined squares. If we didn’t have miles on the brain we probably would have given it a good look. It deserved more than we gave it.
After about an hour we decided to head over to the campground for the night. Another big day of driving tomorrow.
