Spicy birds, creative doors, flyes on a cake, precise footwork, crooked back, happy faces. Marrakesch is intense town with loads of stories.
After the firsta and last day of rest from our GSés we are starting to move north in the morning.
Bikes, mopeds, horses, people, cars, busses passing us from all directions. Driving in Marrakesch puts your focus on maximum.
We parked the bikes at a parking company and checked in at the Riad La Caleche in the heart of town.
We were advised not to walk the 700 meters back to the hotel at night so we took a cab. The driver locked all the doors due to risk of robbery. The streets of Marrakesch are full of life and spectacular shopping in the evening and turns into a dark labyrinth at night where you don´t want to be walking.
Chris and I took a route that led us through a small villages and loads of river crossings. Previous bad weather had broken the roads due to many land slides and we had to go one by one through the tricky parts and help each other.
Children of the villages followed us up the broken road removing little roadblocks that they built, with the hope to earn a few dirham for their help.
After a amazing day riding on the beach we had to reach for the exit befor the tide got to us. A challenging sandy riverbed that finally took us to a small road.
We leave Sidi Ifni in the morning, driving north east. The weather suddenly changes and the temperature rises 10 degrees within 200 meters. The wind is intense and we are surrounded by flying desert sand.
A shepherd is walking his goats and the the lack of food on the grownd makes them creative.
The way to Zagora was only 100 kilometers but the bumby roads kept us in the mountains for 6 hours
Another day that exceeded all our expectations
