We returned to Casablanca on the 24th Feb, arriving at 6.30am. It then took us another nine hours to retrieve the taxi from Moroccan customs. The car importation document, which a customs guy in Nador completed when we first entered the country, had crucial error. It should have been valid for 6 months but he put the wrong date on. The papers had expired while we were in Mali. They told us we would have to go into Casablanca ( by bus) to another customs office and apply for an extension. We told them very politely (at first) that it was their mistake not ours so they should sort it out. Being polite for eight hours didn't help so finally we unleashed the ultimate weapon at our disposal.
Trish had a screaming tantrum and we got our car back! The windows in terminal 2 Casablanca airport have now been replaced and the Director of Customs will be released from hospital next week.
