From Marrakesh to Itch

Fr Marrakesh to Itch Day 14 – 17

After 3 nights we continue our trip south. Found some miner fantastic winding roads up in the mountains south of Marrakech up to Oukaimeden, from there over the famous, beautiful pass
Tiz-n-Test to Taroudant, even called the Little Marrakesh, checked in att Dar Tourika and slept in a tent, very relaxing and comfortable
Next day we continue south, through the Anti Atlas short day of riding, passing Ait- Baha then rd N105 to Tafraoute, nice little town. Stayed at Hotel Salama, very god. We asked at another hotel first and found out they where using 2 prices…..
Next morning we stopped at the Painted Stones just outside Tafaroute. Been painted by a belgian guy, Jean Veran 1984, with the help of local firemen, 18 tons of paints were used.
We followed N105 and the R107 and. Some part of the road were spectacular and took us through the oas of T and then to Tamessoult Itch and stopped at Borj Biramane, owned by two french guys.
The food was really god
Daniel and I decided to try to go down to West Sahara, so we left Sara at the Auberge.
We went to the next town and loaded the bikes with 20 extra l of gas, water and some food and of.
But when we came to Zag the Military police said NO. Dangeroues, mines……. After 1/2 hour we realized they were not going to let us through. We turned around and decided to take another way instead. It was getting late so we stopped for the day and put up our tents in the dessert.
Had our ”dinner” of, bread, sardins in tomato, and some soft cheese. and enjoyed the stars
Next morning we road further south, but the roads on the map didn´t exit, which we been told the day before but didn´t believe. We asked some locals and they said that were some tracks but we
couldn´t find them. And we also realized that we hadn´t enough with gas to keep on searching
Back to Sara and the Auberge
