Agdz - Tazenakht - Taliouine - Igherm - Tafraoute

 

Brigitte:

After breakfast Nesrah (our cook and servant) has to take photos of us with the landlord Lahcen on the bike! For him! We have just enough dirham for the bill (2x dinner and a second night).

Then we have to queue in the bank of Agdz and we spend a whole hour lurking until we get money. We have a long ride today, but it's going well. All in all, it will be a super mix of straight stretches, wide views, mountain panoramas, bends, good roads, a little bit of dirt roads, a little bit of adventure in the places where the river destroyed it's crossings.

A first coffee break in Tazenakht. There we meet an Englishman about our age who is traveling with a small rental bike - in England he currently has no driver's license ...

Lunch break in Taliouine, a saffron omelette, very tasty. Surprisingly, saffron is not offered on the street, and it is too valuable for that. We meet the Englishman again.

Tea break in Igherm and actually we are not able to find a hotel in this area. The Amalya inn is located quite well, but is not as good in detail. WiFi does not work and Wolle has to use his SIM card. And we still have to do some research for a hotel for the next night because the one in the mountains is occupied. But it will work somehow. The pool is nice, the room is ok.
