The trip to Stansted was relatively simple other than an unfortunate young lady who had managed to crash her Smart car into the central reservation of the M11, but this didn't hold us up for long.
Ryanair air have automated their baggage checkin so that passengers now weigh and tag their own bags before handing them over. This seemed to work fine for my bag and my tag was printed but when we put David's bag on, it weighed it and then said he had exceeded the weight limit. We were told to take it to a desk checkin. Brendan's machine ran out of paper so he had to also checkin but the others all worked OK. Boarding went smoothly and we found our allocated seats but after we were all sorted a man came down the aisle looking and stopped at us. It seems that one of our bags hadn't registered properly and they were a bag over so we had to get off the plane and go round to the side to verify, repeatedly, that we had 5 bags and these were our 5 bags. Eventually we got back on and walk back down the aisle with a plane load of people all staring and, of course, this meant that we had lost our slot and this resulted in a two hour delay before we could leave.
The flight was fine and we arrived at Agadir, collected our luggage, sorted out some Dirhams, collected the car and drove towards Agadir where we found an Ibis Budget Hotel, had dinner at the near restaurant and went to bed.
