• Day 16, heading north

    18 juni, Marokko ⋅ ☁️ 37 °C

    Today started out at 9am with temperatures in the high 20s. We're were on the outskirts of Marrakesh and even then the locals were mad on the road, but to get anywhere we had to join them. The morning was long flat roads with temperatures hitting 40c. Had a few drink and ice cream stops. One local shop keeper took pity on us and came out with 2 chairs for us. Once in the hills the roads were fast and twisty. With hardly a vehicle on them. In the hills the temperature was in the high 20s and was a welcome brake from the heat of the morning. It didn't last as once out the hills heading to accommodation back up to 39c. Only a few rain drops found us in the afternoon, but not very far away was thunder and lighting. Found more road works and riding on gravel again. The track to the accommodation was not the best, steep with hair pin bends on gravel.
    Total distance since home is 3750 miles!!!
