Day 66 & 67 (14 /15 May 2013) - After another huge, tasty breakfast, we pack up and head south deeper into Morocco. We are going to cycle along the Moroccan Atlantic Coast. The way out of town is a little nerve wrecking initially. There are many trucks, an abundance of petit and grand taxis, and lots of little scooters and tuck-tucks trying to claim their space on this road, not

Day 65 (13 May 2013) - After a huge, tasty, breakfast on the terrace, we headed off to find the bus station for long term busses. Since we heard that it is difficult to take the bikes on the trains, we thought about taking a bus to Marrakech and then ride North, back toward Tangier.

Day 64 (12 May 2013) - It is a short ride from Algeciras to Tarifa, where we catch the ferry to Morocco.  On our way there we have to climb two more mountains.

Days 54 & 55 (2/3 May 2013) - The morning is cold and wet; there is so much dew around us, that we have to pack up a soaking wet tent. We ride about 10 miles before it warmed up a little bit, that’s when we decide to stop and make some coffee and have a bite to eat. Because of all the

Day 53 (1 May 2013) - Initially, we wanted to go see the Medina right outside Cordoba, unfortunately it was May 1st (a national holiday), which meant that all the tourist sites were closed for the day. So we swiftly decided to pack up to hit the road. The weather was still

Day 51/52 (29/30 April 2013) - It has become increasingly  more difficult finding good internet connections during our travels. While we are wild camping we have no internet at all and when we camp at an official site or stop at a McDonalds, the connections can be quite sporadic.

Day 50 (28 April 2013) - We woke up early to a cold morning. As we get out of the tent we notice clouds rolling in quickly over the mountains. We break up camp, and as soon as we have everything packed and the tent rolled up it opens up and the rain pours on us. Luckily we have
