TRAVERSE 64
latter part where suddenly the road became a big ditch. Fortunately, we found a way around it on a little goat track, which was great fun and added a little more interesting terrain.
Then back on the tarmac, we followed the smaller road along the coast to look for a cafe to get a drink in. We went through the VERY touristy and westernised looking Taghazout, followed by Tamraght. Again, a busy, touristy place but with some less crazy busy cafes near the beach to sit in. The food was good, and still relatively cheap, but I was glad to be staying somewhere with a less tourist vibe, obviously knowing we were actually tourists.
It had been a great day, and for us it was the final day of riding, as we got a little carried away with the rum and coke in the evening, so the next day was a chill and pack day, complete with huge group tagine to finish off the holiday on a high. We also had a good chat to two cyclists that had turned up to stay the night. Most of the talk was travel orientated, really enjoyable.
And then, almost as quickly as it had begun, our Moroccan adventure was over. Seven days had disappeared in a blur of dusty trails, mountain roads, new friendships and the unmistakable rhythm of travelling by motorcycle. Before we really had time to process it, we were on our way back to the airport, already thinking about what we ' d seen and where we might ride next.
Morocco had delivered far more than we expected from such a short trip. If you ' ve never been, it is a country that ' s easy to recommend, particularly from the seat of a motorcycle. The roads offer endless opportunities to explore, while the off-road riding opens up an entirely different side of the country.
And really, what more could you ask for? SP
