Tafraoute - Ait Bahia - Taroudant

 

Brigitte:

Slept well, breakfast was ok.

We take the western route around the Jbel Tykwaine through the Anti-Atlas. One of the most scenic and varied routes of the journey, but: first we have to ride one hour on loose gravel on a winding road, and the bike is messed up with tar afterwards.

Then construction site. The construction workers think it's great that we ride there, but it's quite difficult for Wolle.

And then a long part of the road with oil in the every left turn! So we don't have much progress. Somewhere we have a break for water and some cookies.

On the ride into Taroudant a moped rider offers to guide us, which proves to be great. We unload our luggage in front of the hotel, which is led by a guy from Leipzig and a Frenchman. Tastefully decorated, small but nice room. We explore the place and meet in the evening with Thomas and Winfried to have dinner in a garden restaurant - their group has split. Another beer in an old and luxurious hotel.
