Wonderful Morocco!!

 

I started my cycling holidays in Morocco in the winter of 2003. A country I just love and keep on visiting, year after year. After travelling a great part of the world by public transport and to Morocco three times (2x by bus and 1 x by hired car), I got frustrated. Passing all those beautiful stretches with a speed of 80 km/hour feels a bit stupid. So I looked for a better way to travel and there it was....the bicycle!! Since then the cycling-bug got me and I visited more countries on a bicycle. On my web space -Traveling the world on a bicycle- you'll find the Moroccan routes and the pictures to tell the story. Enjoy!

Into the desert and getting higher in the Anti Atlas - Moocco 2006

 
We had a very nice but heavy route planned for winter 2006. We were fully prepared; fith and with excellent gear we went to Morocco.But already on the first day it appeared that I brought belly fever with me from home. After two days of resting, three days cycling to Tafaroute and another two days resting, we choose a easier option because there was no strength anymore. We cycled down the atlas to Sidi Ifni in short bits in three days and had a lazy five day stay in one of our favourites; Sidi Ifni on the beach.  Despite the stomach flue and the planned route which went down the drain, we enjoyed our stay in Marocco and a meeting with our Moroccan friends anyway. Next time we will cycled the route planned, N sh'Allah!
